Is fruit a bad source of carbs?

I eat 700 grams of carbs everyday
on top of my fat and protein intake

Don't listen to those who say fruits/vegetables are a food group to avoid.  You are missing out on antioxidants, phytochemicals and vitamins when you  cut back on them(not to mention the potential compounds we have not yet discovered that could be beneficial to one's health which are highly likely to be abundant in fruits/vegetables).  In fact, I believe the Canadian food guide recently changed around a bit and made fruits/vegetables the food group we should consume most of.  Before it used to be Grain products.  If you showed that "T-nation" article to any seasoned expert in nutrition/food science, they would likely think of it as a joke.

I eat a ton of Carbs from all sources. Sugary desserts, Breads, Ice Cream....From anywhere.  Number one thing in my diet and I am willing to bet I am leaner than you.

Bro I just bought so much junk food, chocolate, icecream, chips, pudding, cookies lots of cookies
these idiots think that the high GI of a banana is gonna make them fat

Adonis how do you feel about the fact that people say being so low in bodyfat requires you to constantly diet?
for example you would need to diet  to STAY at 5% bodyfat than 11% bodyfat
is this true?
would the body actually slow its metabolism down or somehow want to get fat?

[Jeffro]

I don`t think one has to "diet" to stay low bodyfat at all.

For instance, if Bodybuilder is currently at 5 percent bodyfat and ate 2000 calories a day to get there, he can continue to eat 2000 calories just fine.  Also, he can eat 4000 or what have you on some days and then eat 2000 for a few days and repeat.  He can even raise his calories from 2000 to whatever amount causes him to stay just below weight gain.

So no, I do not agree that one has to "diet" constantly.  I don`t like the prepositional phrase "to diet" as I believe it makes little to no sense.  There is no such thing as "to diet".

Exactly my experience. I'm 100% comfortable on my current diet. I actually have to force myself to eat more on my pig out days.

True adonis owning the shit out of all the so called experts. In fact it's not even funny anymore that he appears to be the first guy to actually look up how much of the carb content of fruit is fructose

Yes.  In fact, he looked it up even before the guys who got the data, made it into a little chart, and posted it on the nutritional database that TA googled.

is this an exercise in stupidity ? ??

So fructose cannot be utilised as muscle glycogen? Only starches should be used?

its true.  i wouldnt lie to you nugga

necrosis aka usmokepole could explain it for you all intelligently and precisely.. i however cannot, but i can tel you that muscle cells are inicapable of utillizing fuctose as a source of glycogen and/or energy while liver cells can use both fructose and glucose


aahhh i see after posting this necrosis has already validated this..  my bad..


fruits are great, i love them... but dont 'carb load' with them...

Because of the fructose?

What are peoples' ideas on this?

no you would have to eat huge amounts of fruit to make it into a problem.

[Deicide]

Oatmeal...ok.

[slaveboy1980]

dont worry about eating fruits, worry about consuming too much refined sugar (from sodas, cookies etc)

Maybe you have trouble because of your current diet.
But people are different, no doubt about that.

The only thing that has ever worked very well for me is no carb, but it very, very difficult to keep that going because even protein powder has some carbs.
