When to eat fruit?
Eat apples when you have some yogurt.
Eat bananas when you have cottage cheese.
Eat Strawberries whenever they’re cheap.
Oranges are pretty good to eat solo.
Avocados go great with a couple eggs or together with a salad.
Raspberries with dark chocolate.[/quote]
Honestly? I like to avoid sugar. It’s one of the reasons I’m not big on fruit.

Why avoid sugar?
[/quote]
I personally have health problems related to it.[/quote]
Like digestive issues?[/quote]
No, cholesterol/triglyceride issues.[/quote]
Which most people don’t have if the are lean and exercising wit intensity regularly. You teach your body to handle carbs and you can have sugar, especially fruit.

I can’t recall ever having seen a picture of you, so I have no idea what you look like and can’t put that statement into context.
Most lean people I know, however, don’t eat low-carb diets forever.

This is not patently true. Sugar lowers HDL and raises triglycerides. People with higher risk factors would be better off avoiding it, even though many of them are very active and even lean.
I for instance am pretty lean, very active and still my HDL plummets with with sugar.
Will a little fruit kill me? No. But it’s neither good nor necessary for me and I don’t find it terribly difficult to abstain.
Barring those like DoubleDuce who have medically documented issues with sugar specifically, I feel in general sugar isn’t that bad. This is a ‘longer’ video but worth watch for those worried about fructose
TC also wrote an article on here about a year ago explaining how high fructose corn syrup isn’t all that bad either.

Do you have link to studies?
All of them I have seen are in regard to added sugar. There was little effect when the sugar was naturally found in foods.

Yep.
Same
First thing in the morning is good about 30 minutes before your main breakfast - Fruit is digested fast and usually best eating on an empty stomach.

There aren’t really studies on people like me that can be highly active, not fat, and have a total cholesterol of 400. My HDL is low enough small changes make large differences in my ratios.
Fruit is good in the morning and post workout. In the moring, it will give yo a quick boost of energy, and post workout, it’ll induce insulin to open up muscle cells to allow nutrients in. It’s nonsense to not include fruit simply because you are cutting down. Your fat loss will cme first and formemost from your calorie deficit. As long as you ahve it factored in to your carb in take, it won’t hurt you.
