First of all I should say I'm not big into super detail dieting. I usually just try to stay within my calorie limit and exercise. I have 2 jobs and a lot of other obligations but that seems to be working best for me. But yesterday I looked at my food diary for the last few days and I'm forever going over my sugar intake. Upon further inspection I noticed that the culprit for my high sugar intake is the fruit. I eat about 2-3 servings of fruit everyday and that sends me over all the time! I usually eat oranges, apples, and bananas. Are there any suggestions for lower sugar fruits I can eat or am I overreacting? Thanks!

    Substitute some nuts for fruit (almonds or pistachios are best, no peanuts). Dove makes some awesome dark chocolate covered almonds if you need a bit of a sweet kick.

    Yeah, when I want something salty, I always go for nuts. Nuts can satisfy just as good as something sweet.
