Plug your diet into chronometer.com and see what it shows and likely you are lacking in something if that's your only source of veggies/fruitsOriginally Posted by dusky99
You can't rely on multi vitamins as sole substitutes to micronutrients etc
But why? You only like grapes out of 100s of fruits/veggies out there?NASM CPT

The simply answer is No.
From a health and well being stand point, you will be micronutrient deficient.

Fruits/vegetables have several compounds not found in multivitamins that are healthy; thus you will not be able to maximize your health only eating grapes. Whether or not that is ok depends on how much you care about this, so hard to say.

Did you read post 2? Plug your diet into cronometer.com and you'll see if you are deficient in anything from a vitamin/mineral standpoint.Originally Posted by dusky99
You will still be missing out on phytonutrients that can typically only be found in high quantities in some fruits/vegetables.
