No fruit after dinner

Woo and hog wash!
And forget fruit after dinner, I am going for pie!4 -
I've never heard of this. In my Italian family we typically have fruit after meals. Even when I went to Greece we had fresh watermelon for dessert every night. Yumm1

Or maybe just keep the pie and ice cream for a special occasion 3-4 times a year and eat the more nutritionally dense, lower calorie fruit on a regular basis.0 -

Or maybe they can fit pie and ice cream in their daily calorie goals so they eat it when they feel like it.7 -

Given that many people are trying to lose weight 500+ calories of non-nutrient dense food on a regular basis really doesn't fit in very well0 -
Everything in between dinners is both before and after dinner at the same time. Sooooo yeah. That.0

Why would it have to be 500+ calories worth?4 -

Given a standard serving of vanilla ice cream is around 140 calories with a typical serving of apple pie about 300, you're at 440 calories. Since many people eat more than the standard serving 500+ calories is realistic.0 -
I don't understand the standard serving thing, as that's not how I eat. Our packaging shows per 100g, so that makes it easier to calculate how much I can fit in my day. If I've reached my other nutritional goals and I'm still in a deficit, something that's not nutritionally-dense isn't going to do any harm to my weight loss.4

I impulse stopped at the ridiculous trendy fro-yo place near me (always going on about their gluten free/vegan options in a way that is just too on the nose for my particular neighborhood), and got 4 oz of a mango sorbet with berries. About 120 calories. In that I exercise, that wouldn't be hard to fit in even if I was trying to keep to a deficit (which I don't care enough about at the moment, since I'm a healthy weight).
For that matter, a 210 or so calorie ice cream/gelato with some fruit wouldn't be tough to fit in either, especially if I was going to eat fruit anyway and just repurposed it.0 -
my mother's nutritionist told her to eat fruit with a protein because of all the sugar in fruit.0

She might consider a new nutritionist.7 -
