Good fruit/Bad fruit?

[decadecadeca]

Afraid I know the answer to this, cause anything I like is bad for me. But right now I eat bananas, grapes, canteloupe, apples on a pretty regular basis, about 3-4 times a day give or take. I'm trying to drop BF% and think I may have to cut all the fruit because of the natural sugars.

Are some better/worse than others? Can I leave some?

I'm like a freakin silverback ape with the bananas and grapes, I love the damn things!

Also look at this site on GI in general:

"Some people will say that fruit should not be eaten while dieting, because fructose is easily converted to fat. This is a misconception. First, fruit is relatively low in fructose compared to things like high fructose corn syrups. Fruit sugars are a mix of fructose and other sugars like glucose. Second, the amount of total sugar in fruit is very low. While the body lacks the ability to convert large quantities of fructose to muscle glycogen effectively, it would be very difficult to consume enough fructose in the form of fruit to make this happen. Fruit has an important place in a well balanced diet, no matter what your goals are. It's loaded with vitamins and fibre, and it tastes great!"

I always finish off my last meal with a few slices of grapefruit and that seems to work well with my diet. I am a fruit fanatic as well, so we're in the same boat deca . It's tough when they taste so good and are such a fast and easy snack.

Well, if I gotta be in a boat with anyone..........

Didnt see anything about blue berries in those links... Anyone know what range they fall into? I'd like to put something into my oatmeal rather then some strawberries or a banna chopped up. Thx
