Are fruit okay? #KBBody
Yes! It is completely okay to eat fruit, fruits are highly nutritious and low in calories. The sugars we are all so scared of in fruits are all natural and are processed differently in your body then unnatural sugars like twinkles, brownies and all the sugar found in breads and cereals.
Fruits are so sweet that they’re suitable as desserts, but they’re still quite low in calories, and high in fiber
and nutrients.
The best way to pair your fruits is to eat them with your yogurts, cheese, salads and proteins or as a snack on their own. However you must keep an eye out with cheese and other dairy and understand that you can only eat limited amounts.
Fruits are great for breakfast or lunch, and our favorite ones are listed below, calories per cup included of course.
