× Absolutely I believe is fit for me to eat snacks, especially when it's fruits which is daily requirement for a balanced diet.
✓ Absolutely I believe it is fit for me to eat snacks, especially when they are fruits which are daily requirements for a balanced diet.
The sentence has singular and plural agreement issues. 'Fruits' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'they' instead of 'it', and the verb should be 'are' instead of 'is'. Also, 'requirement' should be plural 'requirements' to match 'fruits'. Correcting these ensures subject-verb and pronoun agreement.
× Additionally chocolates which can also energize me and boost my energy to concentrate on my work.
✓ Additionally, chocolates can also energize me and boost my energy to concentrate on my work.
The original sentence is a fragment lacking a main verb and has an unnecessary relative clause 'which can'. Removing 'which' and adding a comma after 'Additionally' corrects the sentence structure and makes it a complete sentence.
× I didn't know what it means but as an adult more of my snacks I try to make it healthy for me not to be obese or overweight.
✓ I didn't know what it meant but as an adult I try to make most of my snacks healthy for me so that I do not become obese or overweight.
The verb 'means' should be in past tense 'meant' to match 'didn't know'. The sentence structure is awkward; reordering for clarity and using 'most of my snacks' is more natural. Also, 'make it healthy' is corrected to 'make most of my snacks healthy'. The phrase 'not to be obese' is better expressed as 'so that I do not become obese'.
