Too much sugar from fruit

It's actually really good to eat fruit in the morning: it gets your metabolism started and more acidic so that you can digest your lunch more easily.

It doesn't really effect anything, the sugar. Just don't stop eating fruit and start eating a lot of things with little to no sugar, such as starches. The complex carbs are good for you, but not on overdose.

You should be fine.

we're primates. we're supposed to eat fruit. sugar from fresh whole fruit won't do you any harm unless you have medical issues that affect how your body processes sugar, or if you're allergic to fruit or something.

Oh! Okay, can I append a question on to this one? I too was shocked at the sugars, but also the CARBS from fruit. I'm trying to stay within my macros, but if I want to snack on some raspberries I've frozen (because I like them like that), or snarf down a banana - BOOM there goes a bunch of carbs.

Are the carbs from fruits also a bad thing or ok? I'm trying really hard to stay within my macros so want o be sure that if I go over it's for something good.

fruit carbs are good.

1. Carbs aren't evil. Carbs are necessary. Carbs often get a bad rap because they're used as a delivery system for calorie-dense fats and sweet treats. Broccoli is a carb, and I'm not aware of any sources other than elementary school kids advocating less broccoli as part of a healthy lifestyle.

2. Unless you are diabetic, prediabetic, or hypoglycemic, or on some spiffy new "all pastries and ice cream diet," there's not really a good reason to track sugar separately from other carbs. You'll just stress yourself out unnecessarily over something unlikely to actually impact your dietary or fitness goals.

3. Meal timing as a useful or necessary tool isn't really a thing; it's just a social construct. Your body doesn't care if it's getting fruits and vegetables when it first wakes up, or protein, or lipids. It just cares that it gets the right amounts of these things through the course of the day. If you feel better with fruits in the morning, do that. If you think your best choice is lots of protein in the morning and carbs later on, do that.

I had this same issue when I satarted paying attention to all the numbers. I tried following the food pyramid and still found myself over on sugars. I find that apples, bananas and oranges have the highest sugar so started adding stawberries and mangos which are lower. Fresh fruit is still healthy so I don't sweat the sugar count as much but am finding that I'm usually not as far over now. Unfortunately there is sugar in almost all foods so follow your log and see where you can maybe make small changes. Again, I'm not too concernd anymore because I know I'm eating much healthier and much less since joining this site.

Also, only carbohydrate consumption naturally stimulates production of serotonin. It's hard enough dieting without the blues. So allow yourself that slice of multi-grain bread, or some sweet potatoes.
