Good morning to all of you,
If you have been following my blog, you know that I am a fan of fruits. But can you eat as much fruit as you want and not gain weight?
Maybe yes, maybe not. All foods contribute calories to our diet but it depends on the portions you eat and especially on how you prepare them. When it comes to fruits, we know that some have more calories than others. Fruits in their natural state have almost no proteins or fat, except for coconuts and avocados.
Because fruit contains sugars, nutrition experts recommend 2 to 4 pieces a day.
Among the fruits that are low in calories we find melons, watermelons, papayas, and grapefruits with only about 40 calories per 100 grams.
Strawberries, apricots, oranges, pineapples, and tangerines have about 50 calories per 100 grams.
If you are trying to lose weight, count the calories in the fruit you eat as part of your general diet.
Have a good day,
Emilia Klapp, R.D., B.S.

I lost alot of weight even with eating heaps of fruits, especially apples and berries of all kind. I think the sugars and calories in fruits are of a much better quality than other sugars, just my 2 cents worth.
