Current Events > Can I gain weight by increasing the amount of fruit im eating?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive been eating fruit a lot but im pretty sure its not healthy at all. Actually it's counterproductive. I usually have them for breakfast and for snacks.

my regular meals consist on protein (mainly chicken) rice and veggies.

I live in Indonesia, im trying not to eat rice but damn its hard.

Not true. Fruits are super healthy. They're full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and yes they do have sugar and carbs but also a lot of fiber which slows your blood sugar spike. Eating a 200 calories of fruit is much healthier than 200 calories of chocolate

Nope

More rice and meat

won't that give you diarrhea?

Within reason you can eat as much fruit and veg as you like and barely have an effect.

If you want to gain weight eat like meat and carbs and shit.

There's a lot of fiber in fruit so it's really difficult to eat enough to get fat off of it.

Okay.........I never said it's as bad as eating candy. And I never said fruit is bad for you. I said it contains a decent amount of sugar, so you shouldn't eat a shit ton of fruit everyday or you're going to get fat.

I don't think there's a realistic amount of fruit you could eat to gain weight

You can gain weight by increasing the amount of food you're eating, yes. Whole fruit is a pretty hard thing to gain weight with, though. It'd have to be processed in some way like a boxed fruit juice.

cool, cool cool cool.
