    >500 of these cals from fruit
    Then you're not eating low carb. Fruits are carbs.

    >Low fat
    Wut? Fat is good for you and an essential nutrient. Dietary fat =/= body fat.

    Carbs are not as essential as fat and protein. Base your protein off of your weight or LBM, then give a good portion of your calories to fat. Meet/exceed your fat and protein goals and let the carbs fall as they may (fruit included)

    Why not just eat a healthy, balanced diet with carbs, protein and fats? So many people seem to make things harder than they need to be.

    THIS!!!! If you don't have any medical issues that warrant restrictions why are you cutting out things?? Your body need carbs and fat. Just eat healthier fats like olive oil, fish, coconut oil, avacodos, nuts etc.

    For me personally I would eat less fruit and more veggies.
