I've noticed that if I eat fruit at breakfast I get hungry for lunch pretty quickly, so to keep from stuffing my face all day I try to defer it until afternoon or dinnertime. That being said, having skipped it early in the day, I often lose interest in fruit by the evening and end up feeding most of it to my toddler.

Its always good to eat fruit. Eating it in the morning will replete liver glycogen that has been depleted over night but the majority of people probably never have full liver glycogen so eating it anytime is cool imo. Eating some with fat before bed will keep stress hormones low and allow good sleep.

It does not take long for your liver glycogen to go down. Once glucose is taken up by your muscles, its locked in there, as soon as your blood glucose clears (and there is not alot there), your liver starts releasing its glycogen into your blood so your brain and other cells can use it for energy. You can easily empty your liver glycogen tank if you have not consumed a carb in 24 hrs. When its low, ingested fructose will reload it, as fructose has only 2 different things it can do in your body. 1: Reload LIVER glycogen only. 2: Break down in VLDL. Those are the only two things it can do, fructose is never, ever, ever used by your muscles/brain or any other cell other than your liver cells. Remember that fruit contains sucrose (a glucose/fructose blend) so you are also eating glucose when consuming fruit (fiber too).

I eat my carbs mostly at night. I find that breakfast and lunch are more satiating that way.

I find bananas very satisfying. I eat quite a bit of fruit, OJ, peaches I froze and picked myself super ripe, ripe apples grated and cooked are awesome too with a dash of cinnamon. I feel light and have a lot of energy incorporating fruits into my meals.

I have a problem with binging so fruit that is easily "one unit" works best for me. So then after I eat it, I acknowledge that it's gone and don't mindlessly reach for more. For instance, apples, bananas and pears are a better purchase (for me) as opposed to melons, pineapple, or grapes. I LOVE berries though so sometimes I get those.

According to Dr Jack Kruse, it's best to not eat carbs in the morning, have few for lunch, but have the lot of them for dinner, right after exercise took place at around 5-6 PM. Personally, I avoid carbs for breakfast, but I do have them for lunch/dinner. I get my fruit at the end of a meal, usually after dinner.

If I eat any at all, it is usually in the late afternoon, but if I have them, I will also eat a few berries at breakfast.

I eat fruit daily and as seasonal as possible. There is no specific timing or reasoning, it's just the way I've always done it and I like it. What I'm doing is working for me excellently - my sleep isn't affected, nothing weird, no reactions. Just fruity happiness.

Please note that I am not trying to lose weight, just maintain what I've finally gained in muscle - 12ish lbs - and maintain it, in addition to being faster and more explosive in my workouts.

I don't repeat the fruit, so whatever I had in the morning I won't have again that day - same with afternoon, etc.

Morning: Always after breakfast, right now either 1-pear, 1-apple, 3 or so spears of pineapple, 2-satsuma

Afternoon: Depending on what was with breakfast I will have something different out of the above list

Night: Snack before bed, again something different out of the morning list OR 1-cup pomegranate (I like the pom at night), 1-ruby grapefruit cut out and eaten with a spoon

I have been eating an apple for breakfast. I dip this in a mixture of coconut oil, sunflower seed butter, and spices. Because I eat this at work, it normally takes me a couple hours to eat a medium-sized apple. It fills me up, yet leaves me ready for lunch at noon. That is the only fruit I eat all day.

I still can only eat fruit in the morning on an empty stomach. If I eat it later in the day or with other foods I feel bloated and get heartburn. I eat it only occasionally, but when I do I eat berries mostly.

I agree with Happy Now that fruit can leave you hungry but I use that to my advantage. My GI tract definitely likes long periods of rest so I prefer to be done eating for the day by 2 or 3 pm.

I eat breakfast between 9 and 11, yogurt with fruit. If anything that seems to stimulate my appetite so I'm ready for my main meal by 1 or 2. If that meal includes more fruit, which isn't rare, the fruit is the first course followed by a leafy salad then meat stew and cooked vegetables.

That formula leaves me very satisfied without feeling sluggish or bloated and I wake up high energy and not at all hungry.

My favorite fruits are pink/red grapefruit, red plums (only in season), figs, dates, watermelon, berries, pineapple and grapes. Banana is a mega-sweetener for me and I like to mash 1/2 of one and stir it into my yogurt then slice the other half on top with cinnamon.

I usually eat 2-3 kinds per day.

EDIT: The fruit I find most satiating is a whole grapefruit. It's not too sweet and there's enough total volume that I don't crave another that day. For all the others, I'll keep eating until I don't have any more.

I eat 2-3 servings of fruit a day usually as snacks between meals and later in the evening, no rules, whenever I'm hungry for it and any kind I feel like. I sometimes have a fruit smoothie for breakfast.

I find pears to be particularly satiating.

I find that an apple makes for a great, satiating dessert. Blackberries are also satiating because they have such strong flavor. I thaw frozen organic berries and roll them in coconut powder.

Most satiating fruit: Certainly tomatoes. They are nutritionally more similar to most veggies.

I eat fruit usually in the morning or at lunch. I always make sure to eat it with some protein or fat (or both) and that seems to help with feeling of hunger (at least for me).

As for selection, I pretty much eat whatever fruit my todder is really into at the time - grapes, apples, berries, occassionally oranges...if I am prepping her fruit, I just make it for myself as well.

I really enjoy having the sweetness in my meals. I am sure it it psychological, but I tend to want to eat if I don't have that sweetness after lunch.

If I have fruit in the house (I often don't), I will eat some when I get home from work to tide me over before dinner, or after dinner to have something sweet. My fruits of choice are blueberries, strawberries, citrus, grapes, or apples. I also occasionally mix some citrus in with a drink for some extra flavor.

I do not eat fruit to deal with hunger as my experience is the same as what many others have said: fruit just seems to make me more hungry. I do not consider it a part of any meal. If I eat fruit, it's a snack or treat and I know it will do nothing to satiate me.

I find fruit that has a strong structure, like apples and peaches, to be more satiating than others. Oranges and bananas just don't keep me full. I find that I can go all morning on just a couple apples; this has been an effective weight loss strategy for me. When I let myself eat as much as I want for dinner, I still don't feel like overeating. Works for me, YMMV.

I find grapefruit to be very satiating at the end of a meal, but only if I eat it like an orange (i.e., peel and eat the slices directly) rather than eating it sliced open with a grapefruit spoon. I'm guessing this is because it is not that high in fructose and has a high water content. Perhaps all the white parts in between the slices provides fiber which makes it more filling as well, though I'm generally not a huge fan of fiber. I eat a grapefruit this way once or twice a day after lunch and/or dinner.
