It depends on what the rest of your diet looks like. Sugar can have an impact on weight and blood sugar, but only if you're eating an omnivorous or high fat (more than 15-20% of daily calories coming from fat) diet. Dietary fat feeds your fat cells (or intramyocellular lipids), which then make it harder for insulin to metabolize the sugar in the blood stream. This can lead to weight gain or even diabetes, but the good news is if you're vegan, you can eat however much fruit you want without restricting calories at all. The reason for this is because a vegan diet, by default, contains less fat especially if you don't eat much plant based fats as well. Eating low fat allows your body to better metabolize sugar and use it more efficiently, which can actually lead to weight loss and even reversal of type 2 diabetes. If you're interested, Dr. Michael Greger has a website called NutritionFacts. org where he has created videos on varying topics, and he's done a video on "How much sugar is too much sugar?" I believe it was called. I'm not sure, but you can really learn a lot from him. Also, Dr. Neal Barnard also has many lectures on youtube explaining this as well. He does a much better job at it than I do lol so you can check him out too if you want :). Hope I helped.

daaaaamn

[meatballs21]

Everything you eat has calories, yes, count them.

Banana has about 110, cup of pineapple has about 75, cup of grapes has about 100...

[OlderAndWiser]

Sounds like someone is mixing different diet plans.

[DesiDoo]

Yes. I was so mad when I once at a pineapple and learned they are 450 calories.

[Climber]

Yes, you should, but fruit is "healthy" sugar and fibers, compared to sweets and alcohol.

[AmandaLynn1930]

they say count ALL calories, drinks, fruits, veggies... everything

[itsallover]

Yeah just count everything you've eaten, no matter how few calories it may contain.

[WestcoastBratt]

Yes of course, it's going in your body like all the others food so why wouldn't you count them?

[Despondency]

How in the fuck did you even manage to figure to ask something like this?

Human insolence is beyond mindblowing.

[BertMacklinFBI]

even if your water has any.

[Anonymous]

No, eat as many 'nanas as you like, you won't get fat.

[bubbletrouble]

Fruit has calories while raw vegetables barely have any per serving but you should still count

[Klaatu51]

since fruit contain calories... basically yeah

[KDA20]

Anything with calories should be counted.

[Consultant]

[emerald77]

Yes, you should count everything.

[douride2]
