The right carbs and fats

I struggle with breakfasts and lunches. I have a very hard time coming up with easy meals that aren't going to completely blow me off my track of x amount of calories, fats, carbs, etc. In my never ending search for a variety of breakfast items that take little to no effort and aren't drive thru fare (like oatmeal/yogurt/etc -- too expensive at the drive thru), I've decided on a higher fiber oatmeal and also I want to do a breakfast wrap of organic peanut butter, apples, banana, and a bit of cinnamon.

Now, put into our handy little calculators on the site, it's coming in at a whopping 374 calories (which is of no concern to me), but 59 carbs, 16 fat, and 24 sugar for 1 whole wheat high fiber/low carb tortilla, 1 small banana, 1/2 of a medium-large Fuji apple, and 2 Tablespoons local organic peanut butter. In the past, when I note that I've had an orange, an apple, or a banana, I pretend that those carbs and sugars don't count as much because it's not like I'm eating 17g of candy related sugar. But when I look at those huge numbers for my wrap, they're all in the peanut butter and fruit.

This may be a really silly question, but, should I not pay much attention considering single servings of PB and fruits are very healthful, and just watch the caloric intake? Should I cut down the quantities of fruit in the wrap? Is it absolutely fine where it is? Like I said, I don't really care about the calories on this particular item since I'm trying to fuel myself through the day with healthier items and have lighter dinners, but I want to make sure my way of thinking is correct.

Thanks!
