    No, they're good for you. I had a nutritionist tell me to try to balance them with some protein but that's easier said then done and upped my caloric intake way too much.

    How do you balance protein with shiny vampores?

    Yes. Absolutely. The main sugar in fruit is fructose, which is the same sugar as high fructose cornsyrup. Fruit actualy contains MORE fructose than high fructose corn syrup. It has been well-documented that fructose causes: diabetes, metabolic syndrome, damage tot he immune system, imflammation, and a host of other problems.

    Hello everyone,

    This is my second attempt at MFP as I failed at logging for two months. Anyway my question is I see lots of carbs and sugars in the fruits that I eat in a day. I usually eat an apple, a pear and two tangerines in a day as snacks. Can they affect my weight loss? Should I decrease the number of fruits that I eat?

    You should focus on actually logging your food for now, do that for 6 months then start looking into your macros.

    No, you're doing just fine. It's the carbs and sugar in chocolate that you should be scared of o:)


    I hope you're kidding.

    You shouldn't be afraid of any food unless you're so allergic is going to kill you.

    I would probably limit the fruit to 2 servings per day (as per the recommended amount) (3 servings of veggies per day), but eat the fruit. It has been proven to reduce risk for stroke, kidney stones, other cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes. Also, the amount of Vitamin C and A that you'll get from the fruit will help prevent sickness. It's nature's candy!
