Everyone knows that fruit and vegetables are healthy. However, they are easier to digest at some times than at others. Dietician Caroline Prammer knows what you should look out for and whether you really gain weight from eating fruit in the evening.

In principle, a regular intake of fruit and vegetables should form the basis of a balanced diet: "You should eat at least three portions of vegetables and a maximum of two portions of fruit a day," explains dietician Caroline Prammer. However, more sensitive people in particular should pay attention to digestibility.
