    Fruit has calories-simple fact!! and a boat load of sugar.. So yes, if you bite it log it

    I log all my fruits and veggies. Spices too usually. A calorie is a calorie.

    I count and weigh all my fruit especially if I'm chucking it into a smoothie.

    A banana can have 100 calories. That's a lot not to count. Is your friend doing Weight Watchers, by any chance?

    I log it all...individual peices of gum to spices. I am in the "a calorie is a calorie" group. I want to know what everything is costing me so I know if I need to work harder that night at my work out or if I did ok and can maybe take a night off. If you bite it, you write it. Love it!

    Not all fruits are high in sugar! I ate 1/2 cup of raspberries and it only had 3 grams of sugar. But, yes log it in because it will keep track of the nutrional value such as vitamin c and other nutrients, plus the calories.

    lulz.

    it would be silly not to log fruit, one little plum is like 50 cals... even veggie cals add up FAST

    i can easily eat 200 cals of broccoli and cauli, why wouldn't you log that??

    My daughter said ww does not have you count fresh fruit but I do.

    The WW formula assumes a certain number of calories for fruits and veggies, so that's why they don't have to be counted. MFP doesn't do that.

    If you eat it and it has calories (which everything does mostly unless its water) log it!! :smile: :wink: :laugh:
