I binged on grapes one day to the tune of over 400 calories...such a yummy binge and at least it wasn't empty calories, but too many cals for one food for me.

My only concern if your calorie count is ok would be if you have blood sugar issues. I've become a bit of a fruit addict myself...I love cuties and can't eat just one unless that's all I have!

In that case, I would be eating a lot of fruit too. . . and carrots, granola, trail mix, jerky, carrots, whole grain crackers and peanut butter, and little cans of tuna.

It's a lot more likely that the food you eat in addition to the fruit will make you fat.

Sorry, but nobody has ever gotten FAT by eating fruit. Candy, ice cream, cheeseburgers, Coke/Pepsi/Mountain Dew, pizza, mac & cheese, fried chicken, and chips? Absolutely. But strawberries, mangoes, peaches, bananas, apples, kiwi, apricots, melons, and grapes? No way. In fact, if you went on a 100% fruit diet you would drop weight like crazy.

I don't care what the study of the week says. Common sense and nature say otherwise. When it comes to fruit, I say just stay within your daily calorie allotment and enjoy!

I don't think so
Salad?
Yogurt?
Nuts?
Popcorn?
Broccoli? Carrots?
Measured dips and dressings?
No way!
I measure everything and know the portions I am using!
I even measure my fruit!

By your logic I should only eat the fruit or everything but the fruit!
That sounds lose/lose to me!

All if it fits into my cals for they day and I have been being grubled at because I am not eating enough!

Dafuq?

"By my logic", eh? I'm pretty sure what I was suggesting was that one individual food has no overall impact if the rest of the diet is in check.

YES. It definitely can. There have been more than one study linking fructose to weight gain. Yet, another example of how all calories are NOT created equal. Fruit is very nutritious, but not for people who want to lose weight. Save the fruit for when you go into maintanence mode. Eat vegetables. They are MORE dense in nutrients than fruit (yes even in vitamin C). Yes, most people prefer the taste of fruit to veggies, but no one ever said looking good and being healthy was a piece of cake. (pun intended) haha. Hope this helps!

I'd like to see a study where the diet was controlled such that subjects were in a calorie deficit yet gained weight because they ate too much fruit.............................

Oh wait.

There aren't any.

hahaha owned

Stay within you calorie goal and you can eat anything.

I gotta quote my dear friend HarlanJen: "Nobody is overweight because they ate too much produce".

As long as your workplace has a fridge and a microwave, you can bring all kinds of things to work. I bring a full grocery bag of stuff to school every day. I eat breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack there. . . all fresh food that I brought from home in Ziplock plastic containers. Everything can be heated up in under a minute and eaten quickly if necessary.

I don't have acces to a fridge

No break room no fridge

We don't get breaks at all
No eating breaks.

All eating must be done while working.

That is why fruit is so easy for me.

I have access to a microwave so I can heat my soups or leftovers lol.
Sometimes though I can't get to the microwave for a LONG time

I do what I can.

If you are working in the US, not getting a break is against the law. Every state is a little different, but all require some type of break 15 or 30 minutes if you work 4,6,8 or so hours.

You work out hard with weights but you're barely meeting your protein goals? You might want to consider increasing your protein so you can fuel your muscles. If I were you, I'd worry more about that and less about the sugar you're getting from natural fruit sources.

This is absolutely wrong!! I eat 2-5 pieces of fruit a day at a deficit and have lost 45 pounds doing it. A calorie is a calorie! So eat up within your goals, it's good for you. And if you don't believe me (I'm certainly no expert), I'll back it up with my nutritionist's advice, who just so happens to work for one of the premier sports medicine centers in the country.

Time to Google and research.

I love fruit! It makes a great snack. I bring a bunch to work with me each day, mostly apples, bananas, and oranges. So much better than the days I used to binge on candy. I say as long as you're not going over in your calories, you have nothing to worry about. Fruit actually is pretty filling, especially if you are drinking enough water and eating healthy meals.

Anything can make you gain weight if you eat enough of it. Eat as much fruit as you want just make sure it fits within your calorie budget. Outside of that, fruit is a great choice. Don't worry about the sugar. The natural sugar in fruit is not the same as added sugar you find in a lot of foods.
