i've been eating absurd amounts of fruits and veggies on my summer cut diet, hasnt been going as fast as in the past...can too much fruit work against a cut?
 
Can it? Sure.

Is it? You appear to be cutting well. :)
 
I hope not, because I looooove fruit. I probly have 4-8 on average a day(mainly at lunch and for snacks).

Im losing quite abit of weight, so i guess theyre not that bad :)
 
anything above caloric maintenance will affect your cut.

if you are not creating a sufficient caloric deficit via diet and exercise, then you will not lose body fat like you want.

how are you measuring progress based on previous times that you have dieted down to low levels of body fat? how are you making objective measurements. you can't just make blind statements like that without quantifying it.
 
i guess what i'm getting at is the fruit sugar going to affect the cut the same way processed sugars would, if an abundance of fruits are eaten?

as far as progress, just eyeballing myself and noting my workouts are more intense than ever, the cut is progressing, but not as fast as last year.
 
Fruit will affect you the same as anything with fructose and glucose. Like table sugar, or soda pop. The difference is you are unlikely to consume as much fructose and glucose from eating whole fruit as you could be if you were drinking juice or pop, or eating a lot of sucrose in other forms.

It's calories; it's sugar, about half of which is fructose. Fruit, however, is nourishing - particularly colourful fruits such as berries. Colourful berries contain antioxidants and fibre, and tend to be lower in carbohydrate than other types of fruit, such as apples, oranges and bananas.
 
what about peaches, nectarines, cherries and plums? i do eat bananas and oranges a lot, but also the aforementioned...
