Depending on what you’re trying to avoid, there is nothing wrong with eating 300g of blueberries.
If you are, for example, trying to limit your sugar intake, you’d want to be careful as there are about 30g of sugar. It is natural sugar, of course, but still.
The rest of what 300g of blueberries offers in regards to nutrition is great.
2g of protein. 32% of daily vit. C

There was a scientific study. They had people eat various quantities of berries. Then they tested their blood levels for various elements. They found that eating 1/2 cup of berries was way more effective than eating 1/4 cup. Eating more than 1/2 a cup would be ok, but the effectiveness of the berries is best at 1/2 cup. Sorry, I don’t have the details of the study. I read it sometime ago. But, now I try to eat at least 1/2 cup. It’s no problem eating lots of berries. I used to go berry picking on a berry farm. We would eat as many berries as we wanted. No ill effects. If your body is not used to the fibre, you may experience some discomfort (and other things), but it is not dangerous in anyway. Just uncomfortable. What I am saying is, eating more than 1/2 cup is unnecessary.
lol I remember I was so hard on myself with my nutrition back during my massive weight loss journey in 2020, I would question if eating a few pieces of pineapple or strawberries were okay and if It was maybe going to make me gain weight/spike my insulin too much.

I’ll kill some waffles with ice-cream and a milkshake at 11:00pm and not care about it now aha. Yes the blueberries are totally fine! don’t question whole foods too much! enjoy in good moderation :)
That’s a lot per day, once in a while, sure, but I’d avoid eating that daily. You can build up a sensitivity and other issues, my wife did from eating too many blueberries, plus the sugar.
Why do you feel the need to eat that many per day? If you are after anti-oxidants, there’s other sources too including vegetables, or just supplementing.
Yes it can be dangerous under certain conditions. All fruits in the berry-family, including strawberries, cranberries, and blueberries are significant blood thinners. They contain the same ingredients as Aspirin or other ASS, salicylate. ASS is can cause micro bleeding in your guts causing several issues.
So if youre already on blood thinners, I wouldnt advice it. Also if you have some other health issues related to your blood, ask your doctor.
If you have an operation, where youre not allowed to take blood thinners, dont eat them.
The other issue with blueberries are Noro viruses, especially if you eat frozen berries. Theyre often contaminated with noro viruses, which could cause dangerous health issues in older people or with not working immune system.
Eating it once or 2 times a week would be fine, but I wouldnt do it daily.
Also 300g would already contain around 20g of fructose, which is one of the most unhealthy sugar you can eat causing fat liver and other issues if you eat too much.
