    There are people who will tell you that fruits are bad because fructose can't be converted into glycogen.
    What they fail to realize is that fruits have more carbs than simply fructose.
    No, I know. I meant those two fruits specifically....was being funny. Anti carbohydrate folks are scarier than anti vaccination people

    No carbs = no growth

    I especially love my fructose first thing in his morning and right after a workout

    I do believe there’s a genetic component to carbohydrates as well...my body runs off of glucose. I’m worthless without them. Some guys I know will put on belly fat quickly with rice, grains or oats

    Agreed...
    and to clarify...

    I am "low" carbs by some measures in that I primarily eat meat and fruit.
    It is hard to get as many calories from watermelon as it is from pasta.

    I actually have what's called reactive hypoglycemia so I shouldn't eat too many carbs. (I've actually passed out several times...)
    But before, during, and after my workouts I make sure to eat/drink plenty of carbs.

    I think fruits are the healthiest option.

    And the reason I said oranges and pears is because I didn't want to mention my favorite fruit watermelon... trying to avoid coming across like a was making a off handed comment
