I have no trouble eating all my vegies and then some...I love them! However, I just had a nutrition profile tell me that I need more fruit intake. My problem is I am trying to keep the sugar count low to none. What fruits are there with low sugar? Any suggestions would help.

    All fruit has sugar in it - which I've recently learned our bodies REALLY, REALLY need (but not too much). I tailor my fruit intake to those that will provide the most value to me. For instance, blueberries have a lot of anti-oxidants in them so I have a serving of those in a protein shake. Bananas (which are TERRIBLE on sugar) have a lot of potassium so I eat a half of one of those every now and then. Organic apples have fiber in them so I have one of those. I LOVE apples. So have a fruit or two each day. If you are worried about the sugar content, eat them early in the day so that you have a longer time period to burn off that sugar.

    I try to keep my fruit in the morning with breakfast and my morning snack b/c they are higher in sugars. I normally eat them before/after a workout for my carb :)
