It depends, Ken. It depends upon the human, and the reasons for the fast. It depends upon the length of the fast. It depends upon the digestive capabilities of the person. It depends upon the time being allowed for realimentation. It depends upon many things. I treat each person as an individual and give each person custom advice in regards to breaking a fast.
I prefer to use juicy fruits, and often use melons, mangoes, papayas, etc, but have used several dozen different fruits in breaking thousands of fasts for people. Rarely is it anything other than fresh whole fruit, however.
Still, the quantity and frequency MUST be handled on a case by case basis.
