    Fruit debate - cutting, fruit for breakfast, Pre/PostWO

    Aight, I've searched and *similar* questions pop up regularly but haven't found anything really specific.

    I'm on a cut, been for the past ~10weeks with very good success so far. I've been between 400-500cal/day deficit.

    A new Sunflower Farmer's Market has opened in town (~4 weeks ago), fruit and veggies are DIRT cheap and I've been buying fruit once a week by the tens-of-pounds. Mostly bananas, pineapples ($1.50 each!!!), mangos, apples, oranges, grapefruits, cherries ... Just all kinds of fruit.

    So, anyway, I usually have A LOT of my carbs from fruit - from 1-2 bananas for breakfast with my oatmeal, 2 bananas pre-workout, a couple of apples post-workout, I eat a lot of fruit.

    Question is - is fruit ok as a carb source pre and post workout? I've read several threads about fructose pre/post workout but could not find anything conclusive.

    Thanks. _B

    Very true - but then again, there's many factors that contribute to me "getting results". Eating fruit might be the single factor that's slowing my progress down

    Cut out the fruit for one week and see what happens. I'll think you'll like what happens. See for yourself.

    ...and substitute the fruit with oatmeal I assume? I will try this, good idea.

    I despise oatmeal. You could use brown rice or whole wheat pasta instead.

    Seriously! I love my bananas pre-workout especially!
    I'll do a week of testing with no fruit except for 2 pre-workout bananas
    If I see a difference, I'll go to no fruit at all for another week... Thx folks.
