--»fruit...-----»»....fat??!!!!???
hey there...im very worried, becuase like i make it my goal and its been working for me wonderfully...like 900 calories per day...
This will sound abit odd, but like my mom has told me how she literally solely ate fruit during her pregnancy with me and i hav always grown up in a healthy enviroment...im obssesed with fruit and veggies and healthy stuff (although i also love bad, greasy, sweet, artificial
)...
So....lately its been the grape period here in portugal and there are these tiny, thin, crunchy, very sweet purple ones without seeds and sweet delic green ones...i cant live without them...i want them everyday...but half the time sits all i end up eating basicaly besides my morning fruit shake and fruit with veggie soup at night....
Yesterday was utlimate too much grape consumption day and i think i ate about 2kilos
...ooh god that sounds less scary in my head...and i check and its like a FLIPPIN 1,400CALS!!! i want to die..i love them and i dotn want them to be that much...anyway....comming to my question---------
Fruit may not make you fat, but can too much fruit make you pick up weight??? I know being healthy is great and i consumed heathy calories, but what about the whole quantity theory...moderation is key???
Id apreciate your opinions, thanks guys,![]()
Too much of anything will make you gain weight. Excess calories in = fat stored. And fruit, being high in natural sugars, is quite calorific. Plus it doesn't contain all the vitamins and minerals you need to be healthy.
If you mean you eat 900 cals of fruit a day and other things on top... probably best to tone it down to 2 or 3 pieces a day so that you get a better balance of other foods. (Two kilos of anything is just plain greedy, let's face it) If you mean you have 900 cals a day total, that's not a smart thing to do as it would be a starvation diet.
wait.
"but half the time sits all i end up eating basicaly besides my morning fruit shake and fruit with veggie soup at night...."
by that, do you mean that veggie soup at night and a shake in the morning are your only meals, and everything else are snacks...?
Unless what you have at night is a huge bowl of veggie soup with some kind of meat/beans and grain/pasta, and your morning shake is fortified with milk, yogurt, or a milk substitute, you're probably not getting a balanced diet!
If you are eating lots of one thing (in this case grapes), it might be caused by a deficiency in some vitamin/mineral. Aim for more servings of grains, milk, meat/beans/nuts, and it might help to alleviate your cravings for fruit...?
I would say if you feel compelled to eat that many grapes in one sitting (2 kilos, 4.4 pounds) you are missing out on some essential nutrients. As purecolor said, you need to be getting a more balanced diet. Also, if you are only eating 900 calories a day, then that is a starvation diet and that could also be a possible reason why you binged on grapes. I don't know how old you are, but 1500 is the minimum for teens and 1200 for short adult females. You really need to be eating more.
you are not eating enough.
oops double post.
