How many grams of sugar in a fruit salad? (vegetables, break, breakfast)

[FrankAce]

This is a picture I took of it. It's a small fruit salad from Whole Foods Market. It's 0.67 lbs worth.

I eat this often for breakfast along with plain yogurt. I'm wondering if it's healthy to do so. My macro diet suggest that I consume less than 63 grams of sugar daily.

You would have to check the sugar content of each type of fruit. No one can tell you by just that picture.

Yes, the sugar amount in fruits vary. For example, berries are lower in sugar while ripe bananas are high in sugar. Keep in mind that the sugar in fruits (fructose) can only be processed by the liver. I think fructose is plants' defense against predators.

I can't tell what's in there except for kiwi. Peaches and watermelon?

Go easy on the fruit if you're looking to limit sugar.

Kiwis, Mangos, and Strawberries,

I don't eat pre-cut fruit from stores. "According to Consumer Reports, pre-cut produce is "more likely to be contaminated with bacteria." Commercial processing facilities risk cross contamination because of how many fruits and vegetables are being handled at once, and consumers have no way of knowing if the prep areas, surfaces, or utensils are being sanitized properly."

50 in 1 mango
11 in 1 cup strawberries
10 in 1 kiwi

So figure out how much of each was n the container.

It seems to be a very small cup and you eat it only once a day, not every day.
Unless you have some health problems, you should eat two servings of fruit daily. If you're concerned about sugar, try to eat those:

If you don't know how much is 60gram of sugar:
4.80 Tablespoons
14.40 Teaspoons
Almost 5 tablespoons of sugar is actually a lot!

Are you eating lots of processed food?

On my daily walk, I see many apple and peach trees with fallen fruits around them. No animals eat these things. Cats don't eat them. Dogs don't eat them. Birds don't eat them. If these fruits are so healthy, why didn't these animals evolve to eat them?
