Fruit Sugars?

i'm having the same problem! i've been tracking my sugars for a while and i've almost always gone over, but usually, it's because of my fruit intake, as opposed to other sweets (most of the time).

there are a lot of 'diets' that suggest to stay away from fruit because of their high sugar content. i'm not sure how i feel about that, as fruit has a lot of vitamins and it is a great substitute for desserts. i mean, i'd rather eat a whole cup of watermelon, which is much more filling than a measly piece of chocolate.

my solution? i've stopped tracking my sugars. it's a source of anxiety that i'm not willing to take on because i want to ensure that i'm getting all the vitamins that i need in order to build up a healthy body. i am, however, trying to stay away from simple carbs at night. i've read that it's best to get in carbs and sugars in the mornings, and focus on protein and healthy fats later in the day. check out this other blog that sums it up much better than i could: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/44278-repairing-your-broken-furnace-metabolism.
