Fruits for lunch

[Anonymous]

Is it okay to eat just fruits from a fruit salad for lunch? Or is that kind of like eating only candy/sugar for lunch and it would spike your blood sugar levels?

Depends which fruits. I'd probably eat the fruit and a handful of nuts or some cheese for the fat/protein.

Melons, cantaloupe, strawberries, blackberries, grapes, pineapples and mangoes. There's no cheese or nuts.

I don't know about spiking blood sugar, but without any protein you probably won't feel full - or if you do, it won't last very long. Add some cheese or an egg with your fruit? And pick high fiber fruits to help with that too

Thanks. I'll have something on the side.
