So what's the deal with pineapple? Is it too sugary to have on a cut?

There are like 75 calories in a cup with the majority being sugar.
Keeping that in mind a few pieces of pinapple shouldn't affect you to much. But fructose high in sugar is not usually something you would want to incorprate on a cutting diet in my opinion.

There are other benefits such as high vitamin C... low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also contains a good source of Dietary Fiber.

Early in the day and limit yourself to no more than a serving you ought to be fine. Of course I wouldnt eat it every day.

IMO, pineapple is perfectly acceptable to have on a cut. What is more important than the type of carb is the glycemic index when cutting is concerned. The GI of pineapple is 66. Most starches (grains and tubers) are going to be almost as high or higher than that. Also, grains have little nutrients compared to fruit.

Most of the time, it might be better to choose lower GI fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, and apples, but early in the day or post work-out, pineapple is fine.

The bottom line is your results. If you get the results you want, who cares what you ate to get there. The last cut I did, most of my carbs came from fruit, and I got great results.

Pineapple's good stuff....especially at night for proteolytic digestive enzymes (protein digesting)
