Nutrition Is it just me?

[North Coast Miller]

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.

Oh, do not get me wrong, I saw your point. Nutritionwise veggies trump out fruits. Regarding the energy I would not contradict here. I am not about low carb, love fruits as my main source for that macro.

Don't need to go far, let me just give you an example from yesterday. Somehow I missed my breakfast yesterday. When it's noon I felt my hunger is talking with me. Then I literally ate about 3 KG foods (I'm only 47 KG by the way). There were 3 or 4 kinds of fruits, some sweets, rice, 2 kinds of meat... As I was on my desert, I was thinking "I think I should start to eat again".

@Adisonnas Forgetting to eat is one problem I can 100% guarantee I will never have.

I've eaten most my calories from fruit for the last 2.5 years. Also tons of veggies, but they dont have as much calories. I've eaten more than 6 Kg of fruit and veggies on a single day. So yeah I love fruit

But fruit contains a lot of sugar...think of your liver!
