  • Are there any disadvantages to eating exclusively fruit on fast days? Will the fruit sugar undo the benefits.?

    M&M advise mainly protein and veg on fast days, but to each their own!

    fruit is fine as long as it is high in fiber
    michael said high fiber & nutrient dense helps
    including protein

    i eat these fruits on fastdays

    LOW-CALORIE, HIGH-FIBER FRUITS

    Pears
    1 slice
    Total Calories: 8

    Pears are the perfect fruit if you are counting your calories but need to get more fiber in your diet. An average-sized pear has 5 to 6 grams of fiber and will only cost you 51 calories of your daily calorie count. One pear packs 22 percent of the daily value of fiber, 12 percent of the daily value of Vitamin C, and 10 percent of the daily value of Vitamin K. Pears don’t spoil as quickly as other fruits, so they are a great staple to keep on hand. There are many different ways to enjoy pears: eat them plain, cut them up and place on top of a salad, or enjoy them in a smoothie.

    Blackberries
    1/4 cup
    Total Calories: 15

    Blackberries are the king of fruits when it comes to providing massive amounts of fiber. A 1-cup serving of blackberries provides 8 grams of fiber in only 64 calories. Blackberries are tasty when eaten fresh, but you must do so quickly, as they don’t keep well. When they have become a bit too ripe, consider adding them to smoothies. They will give your smoothies a sweet taste and a nice fiber boost.

    Apples
    1 slice
    Total Calories: 9

    Apples are most common fruits, and for good reason. They are high in vitamins such as zinc, iron, and potassium. Apples are also satisfying, thanks to the thick core and heavy skin. A small apple contains approximately 4.4 gram of fiber in 55 calories. Many people eat apples plain. However, you can also use them as a topping for salads or in smoothies.

    Blueberries
    1/4 cup
    Total Calories: 21

    Blueberries are tiny, delicate fruits that pack a lot of punch. Blueberries provide about 3.5 grams of fiber in 1 cup, which equates to roughly 50 calories. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and high in Vitamin C. You can add these berries to cereal, whether cold or hot.

    Strawberries

    Total Calories: 4

    Strawberries are not only delicious, but they are good for you. One cup of strawberries provides 3.3 grams of fiber and 46 calories. If you eat strawberries, you don’t have to worry about your Vitamin C. One serving has 150 percent of the recommended daily value. Strawberries are delicious on top of a warm bowl of oatmeal. Also, slice them thinly on top of salad and top with a strawberry vinaigrette.
    Fiber is very important to the human body, yet it is the most neglected nutrient. Most don’t even come close to getting the daily recommended value. An ideal diet includes foods that are low in calories, but high in fiber. Plenty of fruits and vegetables fit this bill without having a high calorie count.
