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
