Does eating a lot of fruits n veggies make people fat?

[LilShOrtiE485]

Yes or no??

 

[Saint33]

no, or not from wut ive heard.

most fruit and veggies r very good for u, well as long thers no pesticide or shit like that on em.

It would take alot more veggies and fruit to make you fat then anything else, that's for sure. But almost too much of anything can make you fat.

Thats the first I ever heard of this. Yes there are some calories in most fruits but I never heard any specific data about this. So no.

 

[Glockmatic]

a glass of orange juice has 200 calories, so i guess if you gorge on fruit and veggies and not do anything all day you'll get fat

Mostly fruit since it has sugar, I dont think veggies could get you fat unless you are completely inactive.

use this simple eqaution, calories eaten - calories used

eat a lot more than you use then you will get fat, simple

There is some sugar in fruiy (fructose) from what I heard it's nowhere near as bad as the refined glucose we usually eat though. I wouldn't worry too much about eating fruits, I have like the slowest metabolism possible but I still eat lots of fruits (bananas and apples) without any fat gain, I think the key is to not overdo it. There's also lots of fibers and vitamins in most fruit, which is an added bonus.

That doesn't mean you don't use the extra energy, it means that you have a high metabolism which makes your body burn the energy at a fast rate. If that's bullshit, then what do you think it is that make people put on fat?

Here are some of the calories for fruits and vegetables. Im going to round the number off so it saves me time. Like I said if you are an active person it should not affect you at all. It benefits you more to eat fruits & vegetablews rather than fatty foods. btw these are about a cup or once each:

apple: 63 calories
apricots halves: 68
banana: 54
cantaloupe nectar: 69
cranberries: 62
dates 59
guava nectar 60
honeydew melon 60
mango 67
orange 61
nectarine 67
peach 60
pinnaple 57
watermelon piece 65
strawberries 58

For vegetables nothing is over 30 calories!!

Oh, and one interesting fact is that some vegetables actually take more calories to chew and digest than there is in the vegetable itself (lettuce is an example).

lol untrue

and eating too much of anything will make you fat.i mean i can go on a junk food diet and still lose fat by eating less calories than my maintenance. moderation is the key here

 

[reef shark]

Yes, it's possible to gain weight by eating too much fruit, but it's very hard to actually eat that much fruit. You'd have to be a fruit addict or something. The average person requires 2000-2500 calories a day. If most pieces of fruit, like an apple, contain about 60 calories, you'd have to eat 50 apples, or similar fruits a day. Does anyone have 50 servings of fruit a day? Of course, if you're already getting all the calories you need from the other food you eat, then extra fruit, or anything, will take you over your needs.

Plus, the carbohydrate from fruit is fructose, a very starchy sugar which gets released into the bloodstream slower than table sugar, so it's more likely to be used as energy than it is to be stored. Any extra gets stored as glycogen--body starch--which is readily converted to glucose to satisfy energy needs.

No.

there are no negative calorie foods.It's a scam.it all started when someone released a book with this theory,then alot of people jumped on the bandwagon and started selling similar books and negative calorie recipes.

6. False "There is no food that burns more calories than it supplies," says Kelly Brownell, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Yale University and a leading weight-loss researcher. Even when you munch on 10 stalks of celery, you still burn only about 0.115 calorie of the 60 calories the celery supplies.
