Fruit have sugar but not eating fruit for that reason is one of the worst mistakes I used to make. Fruit are full of good things your body needs, including fiber, vitamins, antioxidants. It's the perfect sweet snack. Eat fruit. It will make you eat less of the stuff that will actually make you fat.
Sugar makes you fat. 15-20g of sugar in an apple. I used to eat a bag of apples in the combine in a day of harvesting, and I still had room for sandwiches and cookies too. They don't fill you up.
Apples have loads of fiber (especially pectin) which makes you feel full and actually take in fewer calories of what you're digesting. Apples IN MODERATION do not make you fat. If you eat 10 apples a day on top of your normal food, yes, they will make you fat. They will not make you fat if you eat them when you feel snackish and would otherwise eat a cereal bar or worse. Even if you eat nothing instead and decide to stay hungry, I think studies show that during your next meal you will overeat more calories than the fruit would have had, if you had eaten it as a snack. I can try to find the source if you're interested.
