Bananas & grapes in the morning

frances1711

Hi all
This is my first post and hopefully i have it in the right forum.

After hearing about Operation transformation i went on to the website and looked up their menus...for their mid morning snack it says to have a piece of fruit...not bananas or grapes......does anyone know why not bananas and grapes???
I always have a banana in the morning , should should i not be?

probably due to amount of sugar in them, causing a spike in your blood sugar levels. then you "crash" later and be hunry quicker.
I could be wrong

I believe it's because bananas and grapes are relatively higher in sugar and therefore calories.

Berries have the highest nutrient to calorie ratio of any fruit, so they are probably the best option.

its most likely because you will feel hungry again a lot quicker. having your morning banana is probably fine, depending on your goals etc. obviously bananas and grapes beat nutri grain bars and the likes hands down but there are better fruits!

I have heard there is something in apples that sort of wakes you up, I heard it is meant to be better than coffee.

I've heard that too! I can't eat them on an empty stomach though, it gives me cramps.
