Quantity recommendation by Faith Seke

Eating atleast two cups of lychee per day is highly recommended. One cup full of lychees equates to about 190 grams of the fruit. Before consuming lychees one should take into consideration their health conditions.

The recommended daily serving of lychee is around three to four fruits. Larger amounts than those recommended can lower your blood sugar and cause symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, confusion and even seizures in extreme cases. The ideal is to consume this fruit after meals and it should be avoided in the morning.

Daily fruit intake. It's recommended that you get at least 1.5 to 2.5 cups of fruit a day and 2 to 4 cups of vegetables. Eating more fruits instead of dessert may help you stick to a weight control plan.
