From a nutritional perspective, fruits are not low-energy foods; their calorie and sugar content varies. Fruits are easily overconsumed due to their sweet taste, and the sugar can be converted into and stored as fat. The likelihood of fat accumulation is especially high if a large quantity of fruit is consumed for dinner.
For example, 100 grams of strawberries contain about 30 kilocalories, while 100 grams of lychees can provide about 90 kilocalories. Eating a large amount at once means a significant calorie intake. In summer, some girls eat only watermelon and skip meals. In reality, half a medium-sized watermelon can stealthily provide you with 680 kilocalories, which is equivalent to about three bowls of rice. Therefore, replacing meals with fruit can have the opposite of the desired effect.
In fact, other essential nutrients the body needs, such as protein, fat, and trace elements like calcium, iron, and zinc, are found in very small amounts in fruits. Therefore, consistently replacing meals with fruit can lead to an insufficient intake of protein and iron, causing issues like anemia and a weakened immune system. The correct way to lose weight is to have a light diet combined with regular exercise. An occasional fruit meal is acceptable, but it should not be a daily practice.
