    If you are on a low carb, fruit can sabatoge you quickly. Bananas, about 4 inches long are 29 carbs. The doctor has me on 150 carbs a day. so 50 carbs per meal. That banana is half a meal for me. In comparison, spinach is 4 carbs. Fruits are so much easier to eat. Generally no cooking needed.

    If you do not have a metabolic disorder ... like PICOS, Insulin Resistance, Diabetes ... then you can eat fruit with no ill effects. ... include fruits and vegetables into your meal plans. However if you have a condition where your body will not handle sugars or high amounts of starches well, then you are better keeping fruit to small quantities and then of the less-sugar rich varieties ... like berries instead of mangos.

    It won't "sabotage" you, it just won't fit into your carb limit, depending on how low carb you are (I'm currently doing around 100 g or less, and it fits fine in that, but I am not that into bananas and mostly like local fruit that's in season now).

    When I was trying to stay around 50-60 g, yeah, I'd fill that up with vegetables, plus nuts and a little dairy (and avocados, if you count them as fruit). But again, that doesn't mean fruit is unhealthy and it doesn't "sabotage" anything, you just have to know what fits in your personal macros.
