    Ofcourse they count, and they are high in sugar so they should not be used for cutting weight.

    Fruits most def can be used when cutting and should be included in anyones diet, from a pure health perspective. Not all fruits are Hi Gi sugars. They are also rich in fiber, vitamins etc...

    Most fruit is low GI. It is one of the oldest and best foods on earth.

    Frutose in fruit is sugar. All sugar should be counted toward calories and carbs.
