Tweetpersonally for me and all the other normal people in the world no sugar when coming down at all. if you are a lean person to begin with and have no problems with stripping the very little body fat you carry, then i would say pour it on. what i tell people that have fruits and sugar in their diets is to try to get it in around training. that way at least you can put the surge in slin to good use and hopefully burn it off. their are also tons of nutrient dense foods you can opt for without adding sugars into your diet. kale broccoli califlower(sp) asparagus and the list goes on and on.

TweetThats always a tough issue since fruit is scientifically proven to prevent cancer and other diseases but its hard to get ridiculously lean if youre eating too much fruit. I would say a couple cups of fruit every day isnt going to show up as fat. Pre contest, you might want to cut out the fruit for a while. If youre cutting out fruit, just make sure you are eating a lot of low glycemic vegetables.

Exactly

TweetGood stuff was wondering if I eat too much fruit would defeat the purpose of leaning out.

TweetA good ole apple on an empty tummy is not a bad thing. So many good benefits and so many different varieties. I stick with fujis and they are sweet enough. the green (granny smith) is supposed to have the least sugar but it is definitely tart. I agree with dzone that fruits has an amazing amount of benefits but I would say if you are going to eat it, do it earlier part of the day or as guns said.

as small and lean as you are baby1, you could get by with eating fruit with all your meals no problem.

you lean out to much you will disappear. something also you want to keep in mind is that the leaner you get the worse you kinda feel. what i mean is unless you are black with stupid genetics or another race that is also lucky enough to have the genetics to get down and stay super lean, you will have a tendency to have your joints hurt a little more and other things as well. i can easily roll around at 8-12% with no real aches and pains staying pretty healthy but as soon as i dip down under 8 my body gets very aggervated at me and doesnt like it. esp in the areas that are damaged really bad that are out of my control.
