text: help! does fruits make one fat? i am watching y weight and one of the advice that i got is 2 eat 5-6 times a day which consists mainly of fruits and vegetables. but i discovered that i am adding weight instead of loosing it and my boyfriend said its because of the fruits (i.e. the fruits are making me fat), but i only take 2 oranges and 1 apple a day. are they (oranges and apple) responsible for my weight gain? help! hi cleopatra!  fruit and veggies don't cause weight gain, eating more calories then  you burn does.  thus, i suggest you keep to the 5 meals per day, but keep your total calorie intake to 1500.  then stay active: dance, shop, walk, play, etc.  simple rule, fruit has more calories than veggies, so error on that side.  the should get you started where you could start to see progress within the week if you stick to it.  i believe this answers your question, but if not, you can shoot me an email at: gregg@leandownsite.com  good luck on your diet and fitness goals!  trainer gregg you can achieve anything you set your mind on
