Remember these thoughts: Fruit can make you fat...OR ... fruit can be your best friend.
If you enjoy fruit and you have three moderate servings a day it can be healthy and refreshing. In my 'before Diet Masters days' I was not only addicted to large portions of food; I would eat HUGE portions of fruit.
Peaches used to be packaged in 3 pound bags and I would finish the complete amount in the course of one day. If you can't visualize anyone eating that many peaches: believe me: it is a fact. The calorie count is 480 for the 3 pounds.
Apples have a poem about them that makes us think that it is imperative to have one included in our daily diet..The saying goes: "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away." There is a rumor that a doctor's son had a huge apple orchid and he was unable to make a living with it until 'Dad' spread this rumor. OK, I am joking.
Apples used to come in various sizes, from 4 ounce to 12 ounce ones. I have not seen a 'tiny' 4 ounce apple in years. I just left the computer to weigh the ones that look 'average sized' in my refrigerator and they were 10 ounces each. That would make them 150 calories each. Think that I will have half a grapefruit for 50 calories now or maybe a medium-small California Navel orange for 80 calories.
