As long as you have your veggies you needn't think about having your fruits. Veggies are more important!
I get plenty of veggie for the mineral and vitamin content mostly, but for energy levels fruit is invaluable - also has important micronutrients. It runs counter to a lot of the low carb lifestyle diet practiced by many on the forum, but I am NOT low carb by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not talking about gorging or anything, but I get a serving with breakfast and lunch, and another between lunch and dinner. On training days I slip in another between breakfast and lunch.
Especially that I train glycolytic more than 50% of my training, fruit is extremely important for my energy levels. Even without training hard, if I feel run down all I have to do is count back to my last serving of fruit. For straight up feel-good energy it is better than coffee, and coming from me that's saying plenty.
