If you eat alot of fruit, will you gain weight?

Don't be frigging ridiculous! Obviously, you are not a nutritionist. Calories are calories, regardless of whether they are from fruit or lard. The difference is that carbs cost 25% of their energy in order to be converted to fat. Fat only costs 3% of its energy. So, if you eat enough carbs, you will get fat, just the same as if you eat too much lard or oil.....

Depends on the fruit. Apples are very fattening with about 300 calories per. Dried fruit is often overeaten as well, because one can eat a lot without realizing it.....

300 calories in ONE apple? Not true. more like 100, depending on size.

While you're right, that calories are generally calories, there's still a big difference on what kind of impact 100 calories of coca cola has compared to 100 calories of fruit. Dried fruit is very calorie dense, but fresh fruit has very little calories compared to most other (especially processed) foods.

Punch drunk, I am talking about apples here. They are calorie dense. Don't eat too many of them. Same with dried fruit. Everything is relative.....
