Can fruits make you fat?

I bet pineapple can.

.....and Coconut.

not to mention tutti frutti

Mesquite?

A serious answer.

The answer is yes and the math is simple--

You gain weight if you take in (i.e. eat and drink) more calories than you use.

The source of the calories isn't important (unless you make the claim that some food raise your metabolism... but then you are using more calories and the above formula still applies).

Fruits contain calories in the form of carbohydrates (especially sugar) and sometime fat I think.

So if you eat a lot of calories, from fruit or from anywhere else, and don't do exercise, you are going to gain weight.

Fruits contain a lot of sugar. Eat enough of it, and you WILL gain weight.

Eating watermelon can make you preggers if you swallow the seeds.

Many people decide that fruit smoothies are "good" for them because of the fruit. Too many fruit smoothies, too many calories, and you'll gain weight.

mmm, avocados . . .

Avocados. Just full of fats, but they are good fats.

Really?

Oh course, you don't think my grandma would lie to me, do you?

I think your grandmother has a remarkable sense of humor for a woman her age.

she died the day before her 100th b'day, she was Irish and republican.

So fruits make you fat too... so what's so great about eating fruits if, like junk food, make you fat?

I know it sounds stupid, but I'm just curious since I just ate an entire pineapple.

After eating that, my tongue and lips burn. What's the issue here?

Jeez I didnt know that!

What do you give birth to?

Maybe for me it'd be a pad-dy melon.

it depends on how you manage you eating..................... if you don't have discipline then you'll get fat eating fruits!!!!!

Crayon851- Good grief...........a whole pineapple. At that rate, you'll begin to look like a pineappple.

I don't know about you, but for me, pineapple is too acidy. If I overindulge, I find myself piped to the "throne". Your burning mouth is "telling" you something.

The point is, that there needs to be moderation in everything. It isn't a matter of either junk food or fruit. You can eat healthful food without eating one type of food predominantly.

Theres a family of enzymes, the proteases that include the source for meat tenderizers that come from the pineapple. Ya gotta go easy on amounts on any of tyhe fruits that contain bromelain or papayin cause the enzyme does have a few side effects By eating a whole pineappleYou just ate the equivalent of a 1/4 teaspoonful of Adolphs Meat Tenderizer.
