[Ella_mentry]

Hi can i ask how much fruit do you eat every day as i eat quite a lot and i'm not sure if i'm eating to much as i can eat apples banana's pineapple and mix berries so far today i have eaten 3 apples and 3 banana's but will proberly eat another apple later tonight as i dont have any pineapple today

Im not sure if you can eat too much fruit if the alternative is something bad for you. For me though I wouldnt eat that much.
Today Ive had a nectarine, a pear,a banana and will have a few straw berries later. I usually have 3 portions.
Are you eating enough at meal times if you need to snack on that much fruit?
Then again Im still learning SW so I could be wrong and Im sure someone who knows will be along soon

I have had a banana, nectarine and a satsuma so far today, and I expect I will have an apple later.....I eat quite a bit of fruit but I only eat one banana daily.

well i eat a lot of fruit.cause i snack a lot and i know its free so i dont think u can have too much.the only thing i have heard is that you should only have one banana a day as there is a lot of sugar in them.cause i used to eat loads of bananas.but now i limit myself.

I eat lots of fruit - normally have 3 pieces with yogurt for breakfast, then another piece as a mid morning snack and another piece or 2 as an afternoon snack.
My in between meal snacks probably aren't really because I'm that hungry though, more that when I'm at work it's habit... and if I didn't have those snacks I'd probably be looking for biscuits or chocolate etc...
Don't have quite as much on a weekend lol!

P.S. I'm the same with banana's - I only have one a day. But then again I tend to only have one of each type of fruit - I just make sure I have a big selection. Usuals are apples, pears, clementines, bananas, peaches, mangos, pineapple, strawberries & bluberries.

i eat tons of fruit a day - 3 bananas - and this had NEVER effect by weight - today ive had 3bananas, 1/2 punnet blueberries strawberrys, peach x2 and then a mixed fruit salad for work x2 oranges

OMG!! I am a walking fruit salad eat tons of the stuff and every type known to man-kind. The only exception to this is that I only have two bananas a week as too many actually slows your met rate, and slower to digest your not working out, due to them being fibreous.

I say better fruit in the bowl then in the cake !!!
heheheheheh!

I would say fill you little booties lass and enjoy !!!

i eat loads i can eat about 3 bananas a day too

 

[craftylucyloo]

all fruit is free food. You can fill up as much as you want and this includes bananas! I eat loads of fruit incl whole melons. xx

 

[Frontier-Phil]

Its still worth mentioning the banana issue, I would agree fruit is free. As free food is free in moderation eating until comfortable. Alot of members do struggle with loss when eating four or five bananas per day.

thank you all so much i have found this topic enjoyable

If you think, a large banana can be 120 cals it can soon stop you losing if you have 3 a day. I have 4 a week.

I only like certain fruit, melon bananas pineapple but from tin (hexb) pears and sweet satsumas.

Got told last night by my Consultant that if i was eating melon and exercising it will keep my water retention (if said that right) as its full of water grrrrrr.

Only eat 2-3 bananas a week but love a fruit cocktail in tin but i know cant have it :cry:

I fill up on fruit, especially strawbs and cherries!

It would worry me if someone was eating 4 to 5 bananas a day every day, not because of calories, but potassium overload can be very dangerous.

 

[Frontier-Phil]

Oh yes totally agree you must watch the pot !

I eat strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, bananas (3/4 per week), apples, peaches, grapes, pears, satsumas, normally a few types atleast once a day (bowl of berries for brekkie etc).

I've always been warey of bananas as they are high in sugar, potassium, and calories and was also told to only have a few a week. x

 

[daniella]

hate the stuff but trying hard to have some each day and trying fruits I've not had for a long time. What can I say I'm a nightmare fussy eater lol - hope sw will change this though (baby steps in progress)

 

[janiebaby]

is one banana a day ok , i eat mine with my cereal ?

 

[Xassy]

is one banana a day ok , i eat mine with my cereal ?

Yes, that's fine. I usually have a banana every day. I just wouldn't recommend eating four!

 

[aliflower]

I have about three portions a day, any more than that and I'm in for serious tum trouble!
