    Oranges are actually one of the foods thy suggest to eat to keep you full longer. Add that to all the good vitamin C and fibre and they are well worth the calories. Variety is the best way to get all your nutrients.

    Oranges have 70 calories eatch, all they are is sour water basically, same for grapes and other watery fruits, it seems like a waste of calories as eating 3 oranges would be 210 calories, of basically water , why would you waste 210 calories when you could of ate 2 chicken breasts , 2 cans of tuna 1 container cottage cheese, 2 eggs , or something solid that you could bite chew and would fill you up instead of them watery oranges,

    Oranges are actually much more than sour water. They contain Fibers and vitamins that your body needs.

    Ah, but lemons! Now there's a fruit! There's little in the world a good lemon wouldn't cure!

    Why waste your time and life on those sour, worthless oranges?

    They say a friendly lemon is a friend for life!

    Why I married a lemon! We have a whole bunch of lemonhead kids just racing around the house and bringing joy to our lives.

    Not like those horrible, hateful oranges. Where I come from fruit don't have belly buttons.

    So you turn away from that slutty devilfruit they grow down there in Florida, and buy yourself a delightful bushel of lemons today!

    Guaranteed to turn your frown into a satisfied pucker.*

    I wonder why you keep starting topics like this (see "Makes no sence"). Are you really looking for help or is something else going on?

    my guess is 'something else' = a slow day at bb.com

    oh.

    Like every day, ever?

    Navel oranges are a great snack. (I used to call them belly button oranges when I was a kid)

    I like the mandarin ones-- 35-40 calories each.

    Because they have fiber and vitamin C among other things. And, well, they taste good. It's all about balance.

    Are you on the scurvy diet?:happy:

    Do you like scurvy? You can pretend you are a pirate I guess...

    ^^^ LMAO! Truly. :)

    Oranges, or other "watery fruits" as OP called them, are full of vitamins, fibre, and other nutrients. Plus they fill you up :) Fruit is good for you!

    It's a single cell protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs.

    I prefer Mudder's Milk. All the protein, carbs and vitamins from your grandma's turkey dinner... plus 15% alcohol.

    Why would I eat ONE container of cottage cheese when I could have THREE oranges? All cottage cheese is is clotted milk basically, and you can't bite cottage cheese, plus it has "curds" which rhymes with "turds" and that's just gross, now isn't it?

    No really, that's what your logic sounds like.
