    Unless you have to worry about blood sugar levels, then you will be a lot happier tracking fiber than sugar. Basically, carbohydrates are divided in sugar and fiber. Stay under on carbs and meet your target on fiber, and sugar will just fall into place.

    When I done research on healthy food habits, I found a lot of information saying that bananas is the one fruit to go easy on. Since it does have a high amount of sugar in those.

    Without trying to sound too scientificky (a word?)

    The fructose in most fruits helps prevent a high spike in insulin. Fructose has been shown to raise triglycerides which causes a insulin resistance. It is converted to glucose by the liver. This happens much faster than complex carbs (yams, whole grains, etc..) (Low GI vs High GI) This triglyceride ( a fat) can more readily be stored as body fat as per body make up.

    I'm no nutritionist or anything. Just stuff I've learned from reading reports. So you might want to verify most the things I stated
