Is fruit fattening

Is fruit fattening if you eat too much of eat. I have 2 apples, 2 pears, Mandorin, half a pineapple and a whole lot of grapes a day could I get fat from eating all this.

Calories are potentially fattening. Fruit contains calories, therefore fruit is potentially fattening. Most fruits contain more dietary fiber than, say, a candy bar of equal calories and thus are likely to be a little less fattening than their plastic-wrapped alternatives.

That much fruit would leave me sitting on the toilet all day. Since sitting on the toilet all day isn't conducive to eating, it might be a good diet plan.

Note with fruit juice it is very easy for the Calories to add up. At least it is for me. Although half a pineapple and all that other stuff probably adds up anyway
