Can the calories in fruits and veggies make you fat?

Calories are calories, whether they are from oranges or donuts. Obviously, it would take a whole lot more oranges and there are certainly other health concerns with the donuts, but to answer your specific question...If you take in more calories than you are burning, you will get fat. It doesn't matter the source.

Nope, an apple has good nutritional value and enough calories to give you some energy along the way.  Celery on the other hand takes more calories to digest than it's worth- it's basically non digestible and 0 calories, plus you burn a few calories chewing it up and processing it.

fat is part of a balanced diet, and most foods you eat will at least contain some fat. The trick is not to go overboard and eat thing like chocolate and McDonalds which are really nothing but fat.

The answers so far are pseudo-scientific nonsense.\nFood does not rot in your stomach.\nGlycemic index tells you nothing about your metabolic rate.\nFiber has nothing to do with metabolism and neither has digestion nor the peristaltic movements of your gut.\nFruit is tasty however.\nI can't find any scientific reference to the effect of fruit upon metabolism.

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume (or consume fewer calories than you burn). The kind of food you eat is secondary. However, eating lots of veggies should help you to feel full without many calories.

If you eat too much of these, yes, to be sure.\n\nHowever, if you eat them in moderation, and mix in vegetables, and some exercise, you should be just fine.

Yes, the fats in nuts and avocados are good for you, they are good for you heart and skin and hair.  Fat that comes from animals is bad, like fatty meat or lard.  Trans fat is bad, it comes from companies making a liquid fat into a solid by manipulating it.

In theory, NONE. Fruit is generally high in fructose, a simple sugar. But honestly a no flour, no sugar diet isn't healthy. The only kind of carb you're allowed to have on that diet is fiber, which the body can't digest (fiber is good for you, but you need digestable carbs too). Your body needs carbohydrates for energy. Sure, your body uses some fat for energy too, but your brain uses only carbs. The amount of fat your body uses for energy is pretty much set, so there aren't many things you can do to increase the amount of fat you're burning. Also, you'll quickly realize that there isn't much to eat on a no-carb diet, so you'll probably end up eating high-fat foods, which tend to be very high calorie foods. The only way to really lose weight is to consume less calories than you use.

One gram of carbs (like bread and rice) or protein (like in meats and fish and eggs) has 4 calories, but fat has twice the amount - 9 calories.\n\nCheese and other heavy dairy are some of the highest fat foods.  Pizza, burgers, and any fried food is definitely on that list, too.  And it goes without saying, that any sweet desserts will contain lots of fat.\n\nEating a lot of fat and sugary foods is a great way to gain weight, but not a good way to get an attractive body.  Eating like this puts on fat, so you should expect to get some extra flab on your hips and legs, and a growing belly.  You may see results in a few days or a week of heavy eating, but some people find it hard to gain weight quickly, so it may take a few months for you to gain 20+ pounds.\n\nIf extra flab isn't your idea, you have to go the hard way - exercise, with a preference on weight training, will give you a fuller appearance without the extra flab.  It takes longer, but it is much healthier.

The truth is that eating anything beyond what your body is truely calling for makes a person fat. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything else is just a desperate attempt to blame the fat on something other than our own responsibility.

I would not suggest this as a healthy lifestyle, but If you eat lots of fats and sugars together like a burger with ice cream or a soda, then you will gain weight. It will put pounds on in no time. The key is to eat them together.  But for a  normal diet, you also need veggies and lean meat too. And dont consume too much sugar at one time for too long, cause it will throw your body off balance. Drink water too instead of pop, even though pop will make you plumper.

Certainly, as long as you are eating healthy cereal with lots of vitamins, minerals and don't forget about your protein. Adding whole fruits like berries, melons, apples or bananas would be helpful as well. Ceareals are a great low fat alternative and great for weight loss. However, in the long term it would be best to add a least one regular meal a day to your diet.

celery is the only food known to actually burn more calories while eating than you take in...yogurt and other things are low in fat but dont actually burn it

not sure exactly what ur asking but bananas help when dieting, they have alot of potasiam so they get the nutrients and needed calories, while not stocking up on u with unwanted carbs or fat etc... eat up the bananas :)

***Be VERY careful with smoothies.  Most are upwards of 500-600 calories and 20 gms. of fat.    Only if they are made with fresh or frozen fruit are they healthy.

Its the amount of calories in the chocolate that can make you fat.  If you eat a little everyday, then its not much of a problem.  If you binge on it, then yes, it can cause you to gain weight.
