    Yes it can fruit is super hi carb. If you are like me and carbs make you gain then yes eating a lot can pack on the pounds.

    Fruit is not 'super high carb' the word 'fruit' describes 100's if not thousands of different types! Bananas have a higher carb value than raspberries, apples are higher than tomatoes.....just log your entries stick to your macros and remember the valuable fibre and nutrients you are getting from nature. Too many people are not getting enough fibre in there diet and the consequences can be deadly! The staple of your diet should come from veg and fruit.....and not to mention it's very very yummy!! Grab a handful of frozen berries when you have a sweet tooth craving instead of a chocy bar! Or on a hot day freeze some banana and dip the ends in chocolate for an icecream treat!....keeps the kids happy as well! Just remember to log it and say within your macros and your gut will be healthier and happier for the extra fibre!

    Carb dont make you gain weight
    Eating surplus does.

    Carb can be not good for you if you have certain medical problems
    But still ...only eating too much calories ( surplus) makes you gain weight.

    Fruits and veggies have vitamins and minerals that your body needs. If you don't get them from fruits and veggies, where do you get them?? They have carbs, including fiber, which does a body good. Your body requires sugar, so getting it from fruits and veggies - it's a good place to get it!

    Eat your fruits and veggies. They're low-cal and good for you.

    carbs don't make you gain weight. Eating too many calories does.
    Eating too much of any particular thing isn't really a good idea; a good diet should be well rounded, with a good balance of carbs, protein, and fats. Once your macro balance is met, fill out your calorie goal with whatever you like. If that's fruit, go for it.
    Remember fruit it a huge category, including both sweet and savory foods, so don't get hung up on the worry about sugars and carbs.

    Too much

    Insert food of choice

    Causes weight gain

    Fruit is kind of yummy...

    I can over eat me some dried cranberries and mixed nut trail mix!

    Not the fruit's fault though....

    Just out of morbid curiosity, why do you post each phrase or sentence of your replies as a separate line?
