Im going crazy!! What FRUIT for PWO?!?

[Slaiv]

i read everywhere that fruit for PWO is great

but which one?!!?!? which fruit has high gi fast digesting carbs that can spike my insulin and has adequate carbs for my PWO shake??

now i know that all my carbs wont come from my fruit, i will throw in 3 rice cakes as well as 1/2 of oats. Here what my PWO so far looks like

2 scoops of whey = 48g pro.
1/2 cup oats = 24g carb
FRUIT???? = 21-24g carb
3 caramel rice cakes = 32g carb
24oz water/ice
5g creatine
5g BCAA

total = 48g protein, 79g carb

how does that look?? but again, what fruit should i use?!?!?!

and if so, can i make this fruit a staple for my PWO here on out?

BTW!! My goal is to lean up and bulk at same time, u know, get good muscle mass while keeping minimal to almost nothing fat gain

so please, if its banana, let me know!! ill go buy like 30 bananas right now!! if its a pear, ill buy a whole basket!! help plz !! ill be going to the gym in another 13min., and ill be back in about 1:45min, so when i get back im going to run upstairs to check if any posts were made so i can drink my PWO asap!!!

i have a wide variety of fruits so please, just suggest a fruit for my PWO and we're good to go!!

thanks everyone !!!

Just use Dextrose. It's cheap and does not spoil, unlike fruit.

Keep in mind the number is % of fresh weight, not grams....

Yes bananas have the most.

I've heard that ripe fruit has a higher sugar content than fruit that is not ripe.
But I don't know for sure.

some info I came across on bodybuilding.com forums...heres the website http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m..._n6170379/pg_2

PICKIN' FRUIT
Use the charts below to help you pick the best fruit for the job. If
you're worried about fructose spilling over to fat, try a citrate
supplement along with your fruit choice, such as creatine citrate or
calcium citrate. It helps direct fructose toward glycogen production and
away from fat.

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

PWo shakes...nothing beats out whey and dextrose, so why even bother....maybe in addition to it but never replace it with anything else....
