is there such a thing as too much fruit?

I know about the natural sugar in fruit...but was wondering if it just depends on what time of day you eat it. Also..what fruits have "less" sugar....apples? Grapes? I could eat fruit all day every day.... Thanks!

I guess it's all a question about total daily calorie intake. Fruits with less sugar? Go for the strawberries or grapefruit. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Strawberries, peaches, blueberries, apples, and grapefruits for example can elicit a thermogenic effect, actually causing your body to burn more fat than from a caloric deficit alone. Some that are inferior are bananas(very calorie dense), dried fruits, Raisins, Watermelon. -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.

So if you have an apple, add a tbsp of peanut butter, or mix 5 strawberries or 1/2 cup raspberries with your protein shake, or have a handful of almonds or something with the fruit. This will mute the insulin response from the fructose. -------------- For tasty nutritious bodybuilding recipes check out Muscle Menus CLICK HERE http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/ebook.asp
