Let me start by saying that I love veggies. But... when it comes to fruit it just doesn't appeal to me that much. Maybe its because I live on the midwest and its hard to get good fruit here? I want to like it..and I eat it sometimes, but not as much as I should. Just wondering if anyone else is in this boat?

    eh. As long as you get your veggies in I wouldn't worry about it. I'm not a huge fruit eater either. I do love berries though.

    I love apples, bananas, watermelon, peaches and berries. That's about it. I only eat 1-2 services a day on maintenance.

    I have the opposite issue lol. Love fruits, not a huge veggie fan. I somehow 'force' myself to get my servings of veggies per day though lol

    I have to be in the mood, and I only eat them plain (no smoothies, apple pie, peach cobbler or even jam). I'll eat apples, bananas, oranges, watermelon, grapes, pineapple, pears ... um, I think that's it (I don't do peaches, any of the berries or other melons). Veggies are even harder and more limited for me ...

    I'll trade you some fruit cals for protein cals :) this time of year I could eat it all day... except bananas they are just yucky!

    I find that organic fruit tastes better overall. I have become a good fruit picker and I only buy whatever fruit I think will be good--aroma, appearance and weight for size are all good indicators (although even then you can get a dud). But I just had a fantastic fresh organic peach in my protein smoothie for dinner. I cut up the peach (peel and all) and used my hand blender to combine it with about a third of an avocado, a third of a cup of full-fat plain organic yogurt, a dash of fresh organic lemon juice and 1.5 scoops of vanilla whey powder (24 grams of protein per scoop). I then put a sprinkle of cinnamon and ginger in and blended it. Mmmmm. Totally yummy!

    I used to not care about fruit at all. Now I've moved from Arkansas to the Georgia/Florida line and I LOVE fruit. I crave it all the time. So I think it really was, at least for me, a matter of being able to get good fruit.

    ETA: I wouldn't be overly concerned about fruit. Eat plenty of veggies and you'll be fine.
