    What fruits are the best to boost energy before workout?

    I noticed that I am sluggish during my workout and I was wondering what fruits will help to boost my energy to its highest capacity.

    PICKIN' FRUIT
    Use the charts below to help you pick the best fruit for the job. If
    you're worried about fructose spilling over to fat, try a citrate
    supplement along with your fruit choice, such as creatine citrate or
    calcium citrate. It helps direct fructose toward glycogen production and
    away from fat.

    PREWORKOUT
    These fruits provide higher fructose than glucose for sustained fuel
    that won't block fat burning. Eat one or two servings.

    FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*

    Pear (1 medium) 16 11 5
    Watermelon (1 wedge) 18 12 6
    Apple (1 medium) 14 9 5
    Cantaloupe (1/2 melon) 22 12 10
    Grapes (1 cup) 24 13 11
    Strawberries (2 cups) 14 8 6
    Raspberries (2 cups) 10 6 4

    MORNING
    These fruits provide equal or nearly equal fructose and glucose to
    restock liver and muscle glycogen to help halt muscle breakdown. Eat two
    or three servings.

    FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*

    Pineapple (1 cup diced) 13 7 6
    Honeydew melon (1 wedge) 13 7 6
    Orange (1 medium) 12 6 6
    Banana (1 medium) 18 9 9
    Blueberries (1 cup) 14 7 7
    Nectarine (1 medium) 10 5 5
    Kiwi fruit (2 medium) 12 6 6

    POSTWORKOUT
    These fruits provide more glucose than fructose for restocking muscle
    glycogen and enhancing muscle growth. (The last five fruits from the
    morning fruit category are also decent choices postworkout, for their
    ability to fill glycogen stores.) Eat one or two servings along with
    white bread, baked potatoes or a carb drink.

    FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*

    Cherries (1 cup) 14 6 8
    Peach (1 medium) 8 3 5
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    my favorite in the morning is a banana.. high in potassium it also helps going into the gym to stop muscle cramps

    some people like the banana in their pwo shake/meal .. IMO i like getting simpler carbs in my PWO shake/meal so i take the banana in the morning.. i guess it doesnt hurt to have 2 bananas in a day
