<p>For an endurance athlete who would like to eat one piece of fruit per day, what would you recommend? Can you go past a banana for its good glucose/fructose ratio and potassium, are berries better? Apples or oranges?</p> <p>Thanks</p>

<p>I would eat berries and citrus and then also eat potatoes...</p>

<p>Why only one? On an otherwise clean diet, I do not think more will harm you. I am an endurance athlete and I eat fruits five times per day along with orange juice (female, under 20% bodyfat). Easily digestible fruits are best. Tropical fruits like papaya and watermelon are excellent. Ripe bananas are okay. Apple and pear is best made into a sauce for easy digestion. I guess berries are good, but they do not give you that much in terms of calories. Pure orange juice is another good option. </p> <p>Okay, I used to be a fruit skeptic myself. I think I watched the Lustig video on YouTube like 3 times back in the summer of 2009. I used to be grossed out by fruit juice. But I was wrong. </p> <p>Take a look at Stephan Guyenet' blog post: </p> <p><a href="http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2012/02/is-sugar-fattening.html" rel="nofollow">http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2012/02/is-sugar-fattening.html</a></p> <p>Two of his take home points are:</p> <ul> <li><p>Sugar, including fructose, is not inherently fattening relative to other calorie sources, and unrefined sugar is compatible with fat loss in the context of simple whole food diets.</p></li> <li><p>Fruit is not fattening, and it may actually be slimming.</p></li> </ul>

<p>Grapefruit- Vitamin C and 20-25 grams of carbs. Mainly I say grapefruit because it is the most slowly absorbed fruit with a LOW Glycemic Index of 22.</p>
