Fruit. Nobody has ever gotten fat from eating too much fruit.
Avocados can sneak up on you in the calories department!
Challenge accepted.
Enjoy your new relationship with the toilet!
My porcelain pal and me!
Many fruit contain a lot of sugar and not all of them have such a strong laxative effect as apples. It's harder to overeat on them than with cheese or bags of chips and they certainly contain a lot of healthy stuff like vitamins and fiber that many people are a bit short on, but it doesn't take that much additional sugar in your diet to become overweight. It's especially dangerous when you start processing them, e.g. smoothies or juices.
Fruit is the healthiest snack you can eat. The sugar thing is bullshit unless you eat a pound of grapes every day.
OP is asking about snacks. Eating a banana or pear or whatever as a snack will not cause the issues you warn against. Fruit is filling and contains moisture in addition to fiber. Should a person eat nothing but fruit? No. But for snacking? Hell yes.
