I avoid them all except what I get as far as trace amounts in certain foods. So if I eat lets say a banana it has 28g sugar thats another 112 kcal I could avoidif you substitute, not add on top of everything, 28 g of "clean carbs" with 28g from banana it will have no impact on body re-composition. Every little bit adds up. Sorry thats not the best explanation I hope it hepls.
