Question

I do 1 banana with breakfast, 10 grapes as a morning snack, 10 strawberries with lunch and 1 apple as an evening snack. Is that too much fruit? Fruit is my weakness.  

Answer 1

Are you losing or not? There's your answer. Everyone's different.

@jone90482 Paul I'm not and I cant pin point why. I'm staying within my points and the only zero point foods I could be over eating is my fruit. I'm on blue, but my chicken I only eat 3 oz once a day.  

---

@mouton72063 Swap out the grapes and banana with blueberries. Bananas and grapes are so high in sugar.  

---

@mascara thank you, I will try that.  

---

@mouton72063 you aren't eating enough protein

---

@mouton72063 Bananas and grapes are the only fruit I eat. But I usually only alternate between each for breakfast and that's it. And I'm losing. I personally think they're fine. But maybe try mixing in the blueberries to replace one of the other each day.  

---

@mouton72063 Do u have a fitbit? I started logging calories too and its helpful so u dont overdo it on zero foods. I keep my calories under 1000

---

You need more protein. 3 ounces is not enough to burn

Answer 2

I eat at least that much fruit and am still losing well.  

Answer 3

If you're making progress that you're happy with, then it's not too much

Answer 4

I eat watermelon all day long when it’s in season. And I have snack baggies that I put grapes in and out in the freezer! Love them.  

Answer 5

I eat a lot of fruit. It keeps me from eating candy. I’m careful with bananas, but everything else is fair game for me.  

Answer 6

I eat even more fruit and still losing every week! Better snack on fruit than on chocolate  

Answer 7

I love fruit too. You are probably not eating too much. Remember it is zero to help you choose fruit instead of candy, donuts, muffins etc.  

Answer 8

I love fruit; satisfies my craving for sweets.  

Answer 9

I would cut out one and replace it with a vegetable (like cucumbers, celery, or carrots). But if you’re seeing progress then you’re doing something right! It’s better than junk food

Answer 10

I don't think so. You re learning to chose tangerines or berries over candy or cookies

Answer 11

@nimrod, didn't you have some experiences with too much fruit?  

Answer 12

I stick with the theory that fruit did not make me get fat. I really enjoy eating a variety of fruits. And if I’m going to binge on something (still happens from time to time) it’s going to be grapes, berries or carrots, not potato chips and sweets. Fruits are delicious and give us lots of nutrients, don’t feel guilty about enjoying them. There was a time when I plateaued and I did cut back on fruits and switched to cucumbers, celery, peppers, carrots. but also switched up other things. I pushed past my plateau and I’m back to eating whatever fruits and veggies I want and think it’s perfectly healthy.  

Comments

@alver did that work when you switched? I’m plateaued at 117 and I’m not sure if it’s the fruit. or if I’m just small enough

---

And the fact that you count your grapes would lead me to believe you’re doing well on the rest of the plan. If fruits fill you up and give you the energy you need, keep it up. Never go hungry because you’re worried that you’d had too much fruit.  

---

@alver I agree! I've lost 80 lbs and I feel like fruit is always healthy, plus it' s 0 points on my plan. I was however on a mango and banana kick. I cut back on those when I started losing more slowly. Bananas are so much higher calorie than any type of berries, and mangos are VERY high.  

---

@castora it did, but I also upped my activity and focused on water drinking.  

---

@lavettelavigne yes! I do limit bananas to a coupe a week. I would buy a bunch and feel like I had to eat them since they’d go bad. Now I eat one or two a week. They are very sweet to me and curb any sweet craving.  

Answer 13

I eat fruit all day long and still lose , as long as you are losing , it’s a great way to fill up

Answer 14

Let the scale be your guide. ‍♀️

Answer 15

I agree with kim paul but it’s better to at the fruit than junk.  

Answer 16

I eat fruit for each meal and one snack. I was eating way too much so cut down. The scale will let me know.  

Answer 17

I ❤️ fruit.  

Answer 18

Never too much fruit it has healthy natural sugars

Comments

@dune37 I totally agree with you. Nobody got fat eating fruit I don’t worry about how much fruit I eat. I love it.  

Answer 19

I'm amazed you have 10 grapes. I munch on them like crazy at night

Comments

@optics I love grapes but I read they were high in sugar. I was eating all kinds of them but when I started to see I wasnt losing I started to try to figure out why. I lowered them to 10 just see if it would make a difference.  

---

@optics did it make a difference.  

---

@pappy no . I eat fruit 3 or 4 times a day. Grapes are the ones I pig out on. As long as I eat enough protein I can handle the sugar in fruit.  

Answer 20

Not even enough fruit in my opinion. I lost 70 pounds eating mostly fruit in 2016.  

Answer 21

I think it’s a perfect Amount

Answer 22

I personally think it is because of all the sugars that are in those particular fruits. If you love fruit I would try to alternate every meal with fruit, then veggies, so morning- banana, snack, celery, carrots and tomatoes, dinner lots of veggies and evening snack fruit

Answer 23

You might add chopped up celery for crunchy, that way you get in a veggie. Wonderful fillers

Answer 24

Does it work for u?  

Comments

@angioma I'm not really losing so I'm not sure if it is or if its keeping me from losing.  

---

@angioma grapes are very high in sugar. Strawberries not so high.  

---

@mouton72063 10 grapes aren't really a big deal though bananna is worse I gave up on alot of fruit , I bought a steamer went to veggies , I lost 40 lbs and counting . I'm 64 so it's a little harder to drop weight Just never give up .  

Answer 25

I found if I eat a lot of bananas I gain weight

Answer 26

No way‼️‼️‼️ You could have more. Talk to the coaches, they will tell you that. ENJOY YOUR FRUIT!  

Answer 27

What helped me break a plateau is lean protein at every meal. . and trying to use portion control

Answer 28

Try sticking to just berries for a week and see what happens.  

Answer 29

Bananas are super filling for me so I have one with a small amount of pb for protein and I’m full until the afternoon.  

Answer 30

Nobody ever got fat from eating fruit.  

Answer 31

Fruit is a tricky slope for some. Yes, it is better than eating junk, but it is a sugar. So I agree with the suggestion of switching to just berries for a week as they are the lowest in sugar and are high in fiber. Grapes make me gain and I have to be very moderate with bananas. Actually I only use them to bake with.  

Answer 32

No, doesn’t appear so. Check what the serving sizes should be and go from there. You may be cheating yourself based on thar

Answer 33

I have been having two eggs with a banana and pear for breakfast. And then usually fruit as a snack during the day.  

Answer 34

No you’re good.  

Answer 35

Love that we can eat fruit, this season they are so good so far

Answer 36

None of us gained weight from eating too much fruit

Answer 37

I eat fruit morning to night and lost 90 pounds in 7 months

Answer 38

I ran out of bananas one week and lost 3. 2#. Not sure if that was why! ‍♀️

Answer 39

I recently had my check up and my cholesterol came back a little high so since I really don't want to go on meds I have done some research on how to lower cholesterol naturally. I came across the Mediterranean Diet and I am starting to eat very clean and leave the process foods alone. But what I am getting to is they say you should eat 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Red grapes are very good for you because they help with your cholesterol. Also apples, berries. So eat your fruit it is good for you.  

Answer 40

I eat more than that

Answer 41

That’s not much fruit.  

Answer 42

I don’t think that’s too much!  

Answer 43

No one ever got fat on fruit alone. May have gotten fat from adding fruit to an already poor diet. But, fruit is not fattening. Fruit with high fat foods, or fruit with simple carb foods is not good. But, if all you ate was lean meats, low-fat dairy, low-carb veggies, & fruit, you'd be hard-pressed to be able to eat enough fruit to gain weight.  

Answer 44

I don’t eat that much fruit because it stalls me. Sugar is sugar. Your body doesn’t know the difference between fruit sugar and table sugar. Berries are lowest and are my usual choice. I don’t eat bananas because they are all sugar and carbs and limit grapes because they are sugary as well, but this is my choice. I am a bit insulin resistance and lots of fruit just isn’t in the cards for me if I want to lose. If you’re losing then keep doing it. If not, maybe change the types of fruit you’re eating or eat a bit less of them and more non starchy veggies.  

Comments

@pelham1 I’m so glad I read this. I feel the same way. Do you think it’s still bad to eat a cup of blueberries at night? My weight loss is less than a snail’s pace.  

---

@destructible maybe half a cup? I’m a fruit lover also. Usually have a cup of strawberries with breakfast and a small apple at night with a tablespoon of whipped peanut butter. During the day if I feel hungry I grab a few grapes or half a banana ( I look for the smaller ones at the grocers). I try not to overdo with the fruit.  

---

@caseycash thank you

---

@destructible blueberries are very low sugar, but I might limit to a half cup and maybe have some carrots or cucumber sticks for half if you need to munch on something. I tend to snack on veggies late at night if I get hungry. I like the low cal ranch, just a couple teaspoons to dip in with them.  

---

@pelham1 I eat blueberries with fat free yogurt fat free/sugar free pudding mix. I love it too much!  

Answer 45

It's better than candy bars

Answer 46

Way better than chips and cookies!  

Answer 47

My leader always no one gained all their weight on fruit.  

Answer 48

Fruit is a lot of sugar and carbs but if you’re losing weight then it works for you girl!  

Answer 49

I had to cut back on my fruit , I wasn’t losing weight

Comments

@posada7880 same for me

Answer 50

Everyone is so different. If it works for you keep it up. But if you feel your loss is stalling, cut back. Years ago I couldn’t eat that much fruit and lose. This time around it hasn’t been an issue for me.  

Answer 51

Fruit is good, but it does also have calories. Unless you’re still hungry, I would cut the fruit out until you need a snack between meals. Have your meals 3x a day, with at least 4 hours in between

Answer 52

I eat a banana in the morning as a breakfast, i then eat one fruit after lunch and another one after dinner and it has been working really well for me  i sometimes substitute one fruit with 0% fruited yogurt.  

Answer 53

Fruit is my savour! I definitely eat more than that

Answer 54

It only is of you arent losing but I will tell you from personal experience that when I have stopped losing I cut my daily fruit servings down to 2 per day and lost a bunch. Be especially careful of bananas. They are very high in everything. They also have points when you blend them.  

Answer 55

A dietician once reminded me that no one got to be overweight by eating too much fruit! And I will edit my comments to say, you probably can't LOSE weight by eating too much fruit!  

Comments

@borszcz maybe not but no one lost weight either lol

---

Everything in moderation, you're right!  

Answer 56

Cut out grapes and bananas too high in carbs

Comments

@martamartaban This is allowed on blue per WW. I eat a few banana a week, but a whole bag of grapes (1. 5 lbs), a container of blueberries and one of strawberries each week. I met my goal of 50lbs. And am maintaining, so has my spouse. She is not saying she is not loosing weight and it brings her pleasure. Unless she feels like she is not making progress she should continue.  

Answer 57

I do much more fruit than that in a day. As long as you are mostly losing I say enjoy!  

Answer 58

Let your weight loss be your guide. For me its better than cookies.  

Answer 59

I eat much more than this and so did my spouse on blue. We have met goal and lost 100 together (50 each). We are maintaining too. So unless you feel stuck and are not losing weight (and some months are slow) keep eating the fruit. It brings you joy. This is a life style change not a diet, you must enjoy your food. ❤️

Answer 60

Fruit or a Hershey bar. duh !  

Answer 61

I usually do 3 fruits a day. Sometimes more. But let your weight loss be your guide.  

Answer 62

Fruit is a good source of fiber and vitamins. Just remember to mix veggies in with your meals. I am diabetic and the menus that I have been given allows for that much fruit. Remember your health and nourishment come first, then your weigh loss plan. If you ignore your cravings, you are likely to fail. Talk to your online coach at WW and get expert advice. Not a housewife like me.  

Answer 63

I KNOW I didn't get fat eating too much fruit. I went without it for many years and still gained weight, so now I am enjoying about 4 servings of fruit per day. I do need to eat more vegetables and am always working on that. Lost 33 at age 70, put 10 back on over the winter/quarantine but have now taken off 4 of those 10. Don't give up. Enjoy your fruit.  

Answer 64

Fruit is always good to eat I eat an apple for breakfast and watermelon with lunch or any other fruit for lunch just don’t forget veggies too I eat a vegetable with dinner every night

Answer 65

And I’ll mix in a salad for lunch here and there

Answer 66

No youre eating a nice portion of healthy food.  

Answer 67

Nope. I love fruit

Answer 68

Sounds good!  

Answer 69

Sounds perfect!  

Answer 70

If you aren’t losing weight, cut back on the fruit.  

Answer 71

Sounds great. I'm diabetic and my endocrinologist wants me to eat at LEAST 3 pieces of fruit a day. Her only caution was don't go wild with bananas, no more than 1 a day.  

Answer 72

Also add more berries; blue, black, and rasp- What you’re doing is not too much fruit

Answer 73

Not at all. I Love my fruit too ❤️

Answer 74

This is unscientific, but one day a week I purposely under-eat my points. Every couple of weeks I over-eat my points either with extra wine, or perhaps a meal of spaghetti and garlic bread. something not great for WW menus, but I think those things, over and under, sometimes, jars my system to be more efficient

Answer 75

Nobody ever got fat from eating to much fruit and vegetables.   

Answer 76

Not at all

Answer 77

I don’t think so. Especially all the berries (blue, black, rasp, straw) all lower glycemic effect! Good job!  

Answer 78

Not in my book. I have a minimum of 3 fruits a day. Often more. If it helps you stay on track don’t worry about it

Answer 79

I literally eat TONS AN@pervious TONS OF FRUIT. Mostly berries, honeydew, cantaloupe melons. Have been steadily losing. But it’s my main food! Love it

Answer 80

I don't think so. As long as you keep losing; don't worry about it.  

Answer 81

I’ve been off & on WW for 40 years. I’ve always been successful eating a lot of both fruit & vegetables. I have frequently been told by others the following: 1. Fruit has too much sugar - you’re diabetic & should not eat it 2. Bananas are fattening! You should not eat them 3. You won’t lose weight if you eat fruit What I found to actually be true I found ALWAYS that I lost weight when I followed the program & are within my point range NO MATTER how much fruit I ate. I started to gain weight when I got OFF WW & started to eat more processed food. Fruit is not the problem! The problem is cake, cookies, chips, do nuts etc. in excess.  

Answer 82

Absolutely not too much. Very good getting it at each meal! Good job!  

Answer 83

That’s a tiny amount of fruit in my book! I eat tons and have been maintaining at goal for a year or so! I’d eat more  

Answer 84

Seems like a lot of natural sugar to me. Natural sugar raises your insulin as does regular sugar therefore could trigger an adverse affect on blood sugar and affect weight. I stick to no more than 2 servings a day. It’s just my personal preference. Better to be safe than sorry.
