Fruit: The Data

So I use myfitnesspal as much as possible to track what I'm eating. Well, sometimes. But maybe I should back this up a bit. Through this whole process I've been trying to reduce the sugar intake I have each and every day. Sometimes I have 3-4 times as much as the daily recommended dose I'm supposed to have, which is a huge reason I'm not shedding as much weight now. To help this, I decided to throw in all the fruits that I eat into myfitnesspal.com and see what I'm consuming. Sure, I should be doing this every day, but lately I've been getting in a routine of only tracking what I think is bad so I can see how many calories it's worth. That being said, fruit wouldn't normally fall under that category.  I always knew that some fruits were high in sugar, but MAN! this really helped me gain perspective. Just ONE OUNCE of raisins have 2/3 the amount of sugar I'm supposed to be consuming in an entire day! This investigation certainly helped me realize what's good and what's not so good. Take a look!
