anythig and just about as much as you like really, as long as you mix them up. i like oranges, apples, and banana's are great for a natural energy sorce.

I think the recommened amount is at least 5 pieces a day, but i think that can include fruit juice and stuff too.

Does anyone know if juice is a good substitute for fruit?

Like I drink POM juice and just normal juice that has 100% Vitamin C. Does Fruit have anything more? POM is a great antioxide btw, better than apple juice.

yea you shouldnt FEEL although you want more fruit than 4 or 5 pieces, but its acctualy proven you can eat about 7 or 8 a day, but this will make you ill somehow if your not used to it.
i eat a least 1 apple 1 orange 1 banana and 1 pear a day, some times 2 bananas bc they have a great energy source!

try to find organic fruit, its better for you and "supposedly" taste better, i have trouble finding it because i'm in the US and everythings tampered with, you'll find organic fruit such as apples are going to be smaller because the non organic have some sort of chemical fertilizer that makes them bigger

i dont recommend fruit juices..if you want orange juice, go get some oranges and squeeze out the juice...

No fruit juice

High in calories, low in fiber. Likewise, avoid dry fruit, because it's too easy to overeat. Fruit generally is high in calories, so you'll have to watch your weight. Apples, especially, have a lot of calories for their size. Watermelon also. Avocados actually have a lot of fat. Bananas are high in potassium, which you need if you sweat very much, so they are a good bet. Personally, I just take a multivitamin with minerals and eat cereal for fiber. I don't like fruit.

I heard on T.V. 2 servings of fruit and 5 servings of vegetables a day.

I eat 4 servings of oranges a day, because I love oranges, though I do thrown in an Apple here and there.

Yeah you should have a serving of fruit and veges per meal. Get that fibre in ya!
