Fruit - do you eat it??

I don't like fruit that much, my body doesn't like fruit. If I eat fruit it can stimulate me to overeat. I do, however, like and eat berries occasionally.

It's a benefit for me to avoid fruit, but I get all the good stuff, with less sugar, in my vegetables.

I love the stuff, I usually eat 3 or 4 portions a day. It's the perfect snacking food

I know how you feel. I have always liked firm green grapes (especially very cold, but not frozen) - but I have come to love bananas, oranges, and watermelon. Though generally fruit is not my thing, I'm more a sweet pepper or rich salad type. But I'm workin' on it!
Today I ate a small banana with breakfast, and some frozen fruit for an afternoon snack. You could try refrigerating whatever you choose before you eat it, or conversely bring it to room temp. You might find that you enjoy the difference in taste one way or the other. Try having it with something else, like almond milk, a tiiny bit of nutella, peanut butter, honey, etc - unless of course the "price" calorie wise is your real issue. In which case my suggestion would be to have a HALF of something at a time and throw the rest in a ziplock.

It may even help to process your produce before you put it away from the store. Like core/cut apples in half and throw portion sizes into baggies with a wedge of lime, cut oranges in half, pluck your grapes into handfuls, slice up that pineapple, etc...

Hope some of that helps!

Fruit is awesome and it needs to be eaten in large quantities every day!!! For every bite of fruit you take, that is a bite that you are getting nutrients, fiber, water, carbohydrates, anti-oxidants, minerals, fat, protein, etc. It is one bite of something else that you now don't need to take.

Not everyone does well with large quantities of fruit every day. I get the same good stuff from veggies. True story.

I enjoy strawberries, watermelon, and pineapple (all of which are 50-75 calories for a full cup). If you just want to meet the recommended fruit servings for your day, try to sneek them in to some of your recipes. Here are some of the things I like to do:
- add dehydrated apples to oatmeal with honey or to nonfat yogurt
- chicken salad is good with grapes/apples/raisins or cranberries (cut up or dried)
- add strawberries/apples/raisins/cranberries/mandarin oranges to a fresh green salad
- do a stir fry with veggies and chicken and add pineapple or mandarin oranges
- try sugar-free jello for dessert with some fruit added in
Hope this helps!

I absolutely love fruit, especially berries and bananas. I would rather "spend" around a 100 calories for a banana than on one of those crap 100 calories packs lol

3 weeks ago? No! But I've always had digestive problems. And after trying a slew of medicines, juices, vitamins, etc I started eating 5 times a day, 2-3 meals being strictly fruits or vegetables. And where everything else I have tried has failed, this did it for me. So a big YES!

It's a seasonal thing...I eat a -ton- of fruit in the summer (strawberries, apricots, plums, peaches, watermelon, etc.) but in the winter I'll hardly eat any, since most of my favorites are out of season. But right now I eat several servings a day. The amount of watermelon alone that I've eaten in the past week is borderline obscene!

i forking love fruit. LOVE IT. i don't believe you understand. i LO v e FRUIT.
frozen grapes, strawberries, mangos, ugh i could carry on but i shan't
eat more fruit !!!!

I love fruit!!!

I saw comment somewhere once that read "bananas are a calorie bomb" :noway:

Um, the Coke is a calorie bomb.

I usually eat more fruit than veggies. The weird thing is I like to eat veggies more than I do fruit. My favorite fruits are apples, bananas, cantaloupe, grapes, blueberries, honeydew, kiwi, and pineapple. My favorite veggies are broccoli, green beans, corn, peas, zucchini, carrots, and cauliflower

I don't bother with fruit. It takes up too many calories, carbs and sugars. I'd rather go without and have a multi vitamin

Oh, I LOVE fruit! I used to be more picky (like, I wouldn't eat raspberries because there were "too many seeds"), and I was adamant that I liked vegetables way more than fruit, but now I don't know. Lately I've just been eating so much fruit that I wouldn't before and I find that I love the taste of most fruit. Probably because so much of it is in season--blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, grapes, peaches... LOVE it. Yeah, fruit can be high in calories but--it's better than chocolate if you're in want of something sweet, right?

Whatever. Fruits and veggies--it's all healthy, it's all good.
