    I know that eating fruits is really healthy and important, but i also know that eating too much might not be so good because of its sugar content. Everyday I usually eat three pieces of fruit, so like around 3-4 servings (while staying within my calorie range). I'm wondering if that's too much? Because the recommended servings is like 2, for my age.

    You are eating too much if you are significantly going over your calories for the day.

    I believe all the recommendations for fruits and veggies are a minimum, so when they say you should eat 2 fruit 5 veggies that was a goal not a limit.

    Anyway, if you don't have a medical condition eat as much fruit as youoie and can fit in your calorie limit without crowding out other stuff. If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, ask your doctor or RD.
