Does anyone log the fruits you eat in the diary? I almost see it as not needed since its all natural and shouldnt be a factor into your sugar intake or carbs.

I say - there's calories there. Mind you, I usually don't both with my drink cals if it's only a few, like for a cup of tea or something... but different fruits have different amounts, so it's probably worth considering!0

fruit has quite a bit of calories, I saw you eat it you log it. And natural carbs are still carbs. Would you log meat? natural protein and fat, so using your logic if you don't log fruit, you shouldn't bother with meat either.0

I had an apple and a banana yesterday - ~150 calories. It's "natural", of course, but it's still food. Log it.0
-
a banana can have up to 150 cals and 40 carbs (depending on size of course) of course i log it.0
-
log it. they shoulnt count becuase they are fruits BUT they do count. :explode: so if u eat em, log em0

I log fruit because I like to ensure I'm getting enough fruit and veg everyday.0
-
I log everything.0
-
I do... because of the calories. It still takes energy to burn those foods, natural or not.0
-
if it goes in my face-hole, it goes in my diary. Calories are calories.0

Er, yeh, I log fruit.
Like I log tomatoes, potatoes and sherbet dib dabs.
It's all fodder innit?0 -
I'm a firm believer that if you eat it or drink it, you log it.0

so if i just ate 3000 calories of fruit i wont put on weight as its 'natural'?0 -
Fruits have a ton of cals and carbs, so of course I log them.
If I have a half-dozen baby carrots, I usually don't bother. Veggies are one thing, fruits are quite another.0 -

Does it have calories? Yes
If you eat a suplus of calories every day but it's only fruits and veggies will you lose weight? No
This is not weight watchers
the first other things that are natural that come to mind:
Beef
Chicken
Eggs
Nuts
Beans
Rice
Oats
Lamb
Pork
Turkey
cucumber
Does this mean that you shouldn't log them either?0 -
I log fruit. I log vegetables. That was one thing that bugged me when I was doing WW - you don't log fruits and veggies! It's still calories and I like to know how much fiber and other nutrients I am getting.0

Anything that goes in, goes in... Simples.0
-
yes, you should log your fruit, some care a lot of calories and lets be for real here, (Sugar is Sugar)0
-
If it goes in my mouth, it goes in the diary0

Definitely. I used to have the same mindset as you. I was eating frozen grapes in the evening and not logging the calories. They were a treat for when I was feeling peckish after dinner and I figured it was only a few grapes so why log it? Well, my weight loss stalled because I was eating over my calories with those extra grapes. So yes, log it. I even log celery now.0
