Fruit?

**MrBulk798** · 03-09-2018, 08:21 AM

So if one is chasing low calories=weight loss.... is it good or is it bad to have fruits as snacks? Although the sugar is not processed or added it is still sugar....but then again hey fruits good for ya? JW I've been watching calories and strait cardio for about a week already down 9 pounds but I've been snacking with fruits and wonder if I'll have more rapid results with swapping to the dreaded veggies

It's fructose. It can come in handy when dieting pre workout for quick energy. I wouldn't be eating it throughout the day.

I snack on bananas daily and i'm currently on a cut and haven't had any issues so far. If it fits into your daily calorie goal, eat it. Long term fat loss is about calories in VS calories out.

It’s more complicated than that.

How so?

Are we talking cutting down for a competition or just want to walk around with abs at the beach?

Genuinely curious by the way because as I said, I'm on a cut right now and any info is welcomed.

I generally eat bananas post workout with my whey or after a cardio session in the AM.

Both, macro timing is important as well when it comes to gaining or cutting. The leaner you get and want to become the more important it is.

I think I've been following this. I'm still in the earlier stages of my cut but towards the end is when I start to cut out a lot of stuff out my diet.

Fruit in moderation is fine as long as you’re not trying to do a hardcore cut. One or two servings a day isn’t going to kill your diet, especially if it’s part of your workout carb boost.

Obviously avoid juice, though. All the sugar and hardly any of the benefits.

Agree with that! My everyday snacks are fruits with nuts. It's nutricious and healthy.

Just concentrate on learning HOW and WHAT to eat first. (Hint: you use the word snack). You are a ways away from needing supplements.
Do you know how to determine your daily calorie needs and bodyfat?

Otc supplements are pretty useless.

Only things I use that are Otc

Greens powder
EAA'S
Citrulline
Creatine
Protein powder
Leucine
Multi vitamin/mineral

Everything else is not worth the money imo
