Sugars in fruit

Hi,

I am cutting and am tweaking my diet as we speak.

I am trying to decide whether to include fruit in my diet - specifically an apple and a tangerine. I have read that these are quite high in sugars.

Should I go without?

Fructose in Apples is much better than sucrose, lower GI.

so an apple would be ok?

I'm not an expert, but an apple ain't gonna kill your diet, and it's good to refill your liver gylcogen I think.

Most of the sugars in fruit are fructos. Fructose fill liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen. While cutting you are best to stick to apples, peaches, pears, berries and grapefruit.
