    Eat as much as you want. Disclaimer: Don't eat soo much fruit that it crowds out your other macros (fat and protein), and don't let them throw you over your calories.

    ETA: Look at the macros mfp has set for you and try and balance them out.

    Should I worry about the sugar since there is so much allow per day according to the app?

    It depends I guess. What's your average daily sugar intake? How many calories are you eating per day?

    How much do you want? ( :wink: )

    There was a time in my life I could kill a whole bag of apples or an entire watermelon in one sitting. That's waaay to much sugar for the way I eat now!

    Fruit is good for you, but even fruit should be measured according to portion sizes.
    I found this guide online - http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/choose-choix/fruit/serving-portion-eng.php
