Apples!

How many is bad? I bought some to snack on at work, and ploughed through 12 in less than 3 days.

Other than the acid eating away at my teeth, is it bad to nom 4 or 5 apples a day? Or should I switch back to snacking on biscuits and cakes?

Edit: actually, just worked it out and its more like 15 on 3 days.

I eat when I'm bored, so thought buying a bag of apples would stop me nomming biscuits. It has, but I've nommed all the apples instead

I also post on OcUK when I'm bored...

47 calories per apple, but I'm not bothered about that, I'm not on a diet. I just need to stop eating whatever random junk food is about.

I'm really annoyed I don't like bananas as they are the perfect snack food. I will mix it up with some other stuff if its just the sugar on my teeth I should worry about. Trouble is, healthy snacks are so dam expensive. Apples were a bargain at £2 for a bag of 7 or 8.

Buy things like pumpkin seeds or those dried fruit mix bags and pick at 'em every now and again.

The trouble is these things are stupidly expensive.

Just wondering if it ever occurred to you that the chomping on apples throughout the day was annoying your work colleagues?

No, my office isn't silent or full of ****s.

Pretty sure I've heard of Apple diets as a way to lose weight so I'm sure you'l be fine. You might even drop a few pounds assuming youre not cake binging as well!

Lol. My office has a habit of always having some snacks about. The apple plan was to stop eating biscuits and cakes or buying crap food for lunch. I've got a big appetite and always get hungry between meals. If I don't eat I get tired, but if I eat junk I feel crud. Having something to hand to grab like an apple has worked a treat, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to give myself the squits or something by eating to many.

Im gonna try bananas too. I was a kid when I decided I didn't like them, maybe my palette has changed.

My palette hasn't changed, bananas still ming.

Quite a few people I know detest bananas.. seems bizarre to me that people can hate such a common fruit!

It really annoys me. They are the perfect snack food
