An Apple?

Well most fruit has so much sugar it can't help but to have a lot of carbs. Apples are so good for you though, so definitely do keep them around for snack time.

I'm not really watching carbs too much, just focus on getting enough of all three, so I don't always worry if one meal is heavy on the carb side compared to another.

Healthy carbs are very good for our body and much needed to keep it running smoothly ...it's fuel for our bodies!:drinker:

I'm an apple eating fool! They are my fave sweet snack.

I say enjoy them apples!!

I eat a lot of produce in general and it's been interesting to see how the numbers stack up for carbs and sugar in the food diary!

If someone is diabetic, for sure they have different priorities and needs, however I tend to not worry about the carbs so much if they are from produce, as opposed to white bread, doughnuts, etc. I noticed that I go over in sugar in a day if I've had an apple, a small banana and tangelo. I could be wrong, but I don't think this is really THAT bad, however it will be something I have to look at if the I can't reach my goals...

For me it is always a trade-off between getting the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables vs. staying w/ the recommended amounts. I always eat the skin of the apple, so I figure that besides vitamins, minerals, I'm getting some fiber and water. I don't follow a special 'eating plan' that has rules about when you are allowed to eat fruit and w/ what kinds of food.

That said, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, so I'm still learning to see if going over in carbs from the fruit, but staying under the allotted calories will still get me to my goal weight.
