Fruits

I'm a big sweet junkie and I only get them from swets; I gave up sweets and chocolates a long time ago. I often take bananas, apples, oranges, papayas or watermelons. Can I take them anytime of day or should I avoid them at certain times? I take two bananas with breakfast, an apple/orange with lunch and an apple/orange post workout. None at night as I heard carbs are badat night? Any ideas? Thank you. :-)

If they can fit into your calorie needs without being out of range, you are fine. From what you mention though, I would think you are probably eating more than you should. Usually anything that ends in berries is a good choice, especially if fat loss is a goal. -------------- Strength and Honor!

You should try an alternative like, eating more vegetables instead of eating more fruits in your diet. Good luck! -------------- Lily

Just a quick question. Also, I only really like strawberries, but I really don't care for them as much.
