I know that it is ctually part of a good breakfast and diner to have a fruit. Our body will not mind whether it´s just before or just after. Usually, in my country, we have a fruit before our coffee and bread. And at diner it is our dessert. In many countries desserts are mostly pies or other cakes. Those are fattening. But fruit has fructose instead of refined sugar. It´s a lot better and will not fatten you at all.

true. That eating fruits either in breakfast
or at dinner generally makes us healthier.

Well for me I don't care even if I gain weight or more calories, eating is my hobby and healthy food like fruits can start my day right. And in some ways, it fruits is a source of vitamins so why not include it on breakfast right?

No.
What causes weight increase is taking in more calories (in carbohydrates) than you use during the day. Any excess is stored by the body as fat and this is the main reason why people gain weight.
A good, balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals together with a sufficient amount of exercise is what will keep you healthy and, unless you have a disorder or imbalance of some kind (which should be diagnosed and treated by a medical professional), your body will maintain itself at the correct weight.

Fruits, as well as delicious, are a good source from fiber, vitamins and minerals, and they are an excelent thing to eat, specially with breakfast. They also contain sugar, so, regardless the popular believe, they are not as good for loose weight, the best is to count the calories of the whole meals you do during the day, and reduce those with more fat, specially trans fat, like fried snacks, for instance, and try to be more active. But fruits, are good for the organism, and it is a good thing to eat.

I doubt it. I don't think it matters when you eat fruit in relation to your last meal. If you're eating more calories than you should be taking in and not burning off, then you'll gain what. Fruits are largely very healthy, and having one as a snack is probably not going to hurt you. If you eat too much, then you probably will gain weight, but you'd have to be eating lots and lots of fruit and like never exercising in order to gain weight from eating fruit.

Fruit with your breakfast is an excellent way to start your day. We always have fresh fruits and veggies in our kitchen and I'm always pushing the kids to eat fruit with their breakfast. I'm not sure about worrying about weight gain if you're always eating that stuff, it's the junk food that puts on the weight more than anything. People in China and Japan eat a LOT of fruits and veggies in their meals and the majority of them are on the thin side.

I think it is better to have the fruits before your meals. When you have the fruits after the meal they get mixed with our food, which causes improper absorbtion and digestion of fruits.
Most of them eat fruits to get nutrients to our body but your body doesn't get the nutrients when you have the fruits after meal.
