Fruit is not the enemy when it comes to weight loss! Registered dietitian Stephanie Ferrari, MS, RDN told POPSUGAR “According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, not a single age group 9-years-old and over are getting enough fruit in their diet. Americans should be eating an average of two cups of fruit per day (recommendations vary depending on age and gender).” Jim White, RD, ACSM, owner of Jim White Fitness and Nutrition Studio even suggested we aim for what the American Heart Association recommends, which is at least four servings of fruit per day, but no more than five.
