When to eat fruits in pregnancy?

Question

I know fruits are important during pregnancy, but I'm not sure about the best time to eat them. Is there an ideal time of day to consume fruits, or should I just eat them whenever I feel like it?

This is a great question because I'm planning my pregnancy now. I suppose eating them fresh during daytime is much better than having them with meals.

I ate a lot of apples and pomegranates during the day to stay active. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor kept a close watch on my diet, so I avoided high-sugar fruits in the evening.
