    Bananas are a medium-glucose snack. Strawberries are cool (100% Vitamin C with a cup of them). Grapes --- not even Vitamin C and Vitamin B.

    v_hetu, to chime in, I also recommend that if you are eating higher sugar fruits (yum, mangos and bananas), it's good to pair with a protein. For instance, if I'm on an empty stomach, I eat a few almonds first before eating the piece of fruit.

    I love sweets; I am in Indian and it's in my blood! A good piece of fruit in season is a lovely substitute for me. In the end, I'd rather eat too much fruit than too much chocolate or ice cream.

    Do you mean that grapes aren't as nutritious? If that's it, there's a lot of scientific research showing a variety of health benefits from grapes' many phytonutrients. They're one of the most-studied foods. Here's just one article.

    Fruit can act just as bad as candy....if you're not careful!

    I was told to eat the following fruits by our trainer at work:
    -Caneloupe
    -Honeydew melon
    -Blueberries
    -Blackberries
    -Raspberries
    -Apples
    -Pears

    Avoid the following:
    -Bananas
    -Strawberries
    -Grapes

    Hope this helps!

    There's something wrong with this list - it doesn't contain cherries. It can't be a list unless cherries are included as acceptable. I'm fine with avoiding bananas though - yuck!

    This is great ! I do eat almonds but as snacks. For example, between breakfast and lunch, I will eat like 10 kernel of almonds which is like 70 calories. And for the second snack between lunch and dinner I eat a fruit or fruits like an orange, apple or cup of grapes etc.. but I will definitely take your suggestion into consideration. I am getting some great ideas. I have also started to walk with my changing eating habits and I walk about 4-5 miles.. trying to do better!

    Aren't grapes healthy from all the wine they make? Seriously?? I feel healthier every time I drink down a few grapes >:)
