I found this information online! I am not sure it's 100% accurate! But was an interesting break down!
PREWORKOUT
These fruits provide higher fructose than glucose for sustained fuel
that won't block fat burning. Eat one or two servings.
FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*
Pear (1 medium) 16 11 5
Watermelon (1 wedge) 18 12 6
Apple (1 medium) 14 9 5
Cantaloupe (1/2 melon) 22 12 10
Grapes (1 cup) 24 13 11
Strawberries (2 cups) 14 8 6
Raspberries (2 cups) 10 6 4
MORNING
These fruits provide equal or nearly equal fructose and glucose to
restock liver and muscle glycogen to help halt muscle breakdown. Eat two
or three servings.
FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*
Pineapple (1 cup diced) 13 7 6
Honeydew melon (1 wedge) 13 7 6
Orange (1 medium) 12 6 6
Banana (1 medium) 18 9 9
Blueberries (1 cup) 14 7 7
Nectarine (1 medium) 10 5 5
Kiwi fruit (2 medium) 12 6 6
POSTWORKOUT
These fruits provide more glucose than fructose for restocking muscle
glycogen and enhancing muscle growth. (The last five fruits from the
morning fruit category are also decent choices postworkout, for their
ability to fill glycogen stores.) Eat one or two servings along with
white bread, baked potatoes or a carb drink.
FRUIT TOTAL SUGARS* FRUCTOSE* GLUCOSE*
Cherries (1 cup) 14 6 8
Peach (1 medium) 8 3 5
Trying to add more fruit to the diet! If anyone has any great fruit recipes please share!
wow this blog is like diet class for me (only if I did what I learned). Reminded me of something my mom usually tells me...'eat like a king in the morning. Eat like a beggar at night'
ReplyDeleteHey Pascale, I am not really sure if eating big in the morning and small at night is what you are supposed to do. I think 5 small meals is recommended. I have a hard time eating a big breakfast and I have a hard time eating a small dinner! lol soooo I am still working on it! Some people say that a calorie is a calorie no matter when you eat it! But eating 5 small meals a day helps to keep your metabolism going. And your body knows it will be eating every couple hours so it doesn't store fat for later!
