Does mango cause weight gain?

It's mango season, and I absolutely love eating them, but I'm also trying to lose a little weight. My gym trainer said they're high in sugar. Do mangoes actually cause weight gain if eaten regularly?

I used to eat four mangoes a day thinking it is just fruit, ignoring my sudden weight gain and high blood sugar symptoms until it became a medical issue. Please be mindful of portion sizes and get your fasting sugar checked regularly instead of just ignoring sudden health changes.

Don't worry, you do not have to completely give up the king of fruits! Mangoes are actually rich in vitamins and fiber. Just limit yourself to one small mango a day, preferably as a mid-morning snack rather than after a heavy dinner.

Bro, mangoes do not make you fat on their own, it is all about your daily calories. I eat one mango daily during summer and still kept my weight in check. Just don't eat them with heavy meals or as milkshakes with extra sugar.

I feel like even looking at a mango makes my weight scale go up! Has anyone else noticed bloating or sudden weight changes during mango season, or is it just my slow metabolism? I want to enjoy them but I am too scared of gaining weight.

Ek mango khane se koi mota nahi hota, haan! Bas limit mein khao na. Agar tum mango shake mein dher saari cheeni daal kar pioge, toh toh weight badhega hi. Normal fruit ki tarah khao, koi dikkat nahi hai.
