Fruits aren't empty calories... "empty calories" generally refers to something that has calories but has basically no nutrients (like a bag of chips or an ice cream sundae or candy etc etc etc) - so you're eating it to feel full and satiated but you're not getting any benefits from it. And obviously this isn't the case with fruit! Fruit is loaded with good-for-you-stuff (vitamins, nutrients, fiber etc.) Empty calories = bad, fruit = good

I agree with kshsmom - fruits aren't going to make you fat. Eating too much food each day and not doing any physical activity will make you fat. And if you're cutting back anywhere fruit wouldn't be (for me) the first thing to go. If you're worried about weight, I'd first cut out anything that actually IS empty calories (like any junk food) and watch your portion sizes.

HTH!
