Fruity Recovery Pantry Stock up is for my recovery foods and training treats.  Fruit is still a sugar and must be consumed sparingly, at times to peak recovery and training gains. Vitamin C and minerals are best sourced from a varied and colourful diet of vegetables for many reasons. Probably one of the biggest sources of fruit to watch out for, is consumption of large amounts of  PURE fruit juices.  

 It's best to have a veg fruit combo and always with awareness of just how much extra sugars your consuming. Any, excess carbs at the end of the day is going to go straight to bodyfat storage. I see way to many people consuming ridiculous amounts of starchy and sugary carbs (Dont follow the food Pyramid if you dont want to have high bodyfat percentages) and they almost always having problems with bodyfat yet alone body tone. Then spending unnecessary time burning calories doing cardio, which can also reduces muscle - by default increasing bodyfat percentage and dropping the basal metabolic rate. 

 How much carbohydrates one requires depends on how many calories one burns in a day. So if your sitting on your butt all day in the office -eating cereal and toast for breakfast, rolls for lunch and pasta for dinner with god knows what in-between - You will have bodyfat that you just wont be able to shake. When I assess clients I always recommend their own special range of starchy carbs based on their daily activities and body composition - no one is the same. 

 When in doubt always fill up to your hearts content on lots of bountiful fibrous with some starchy veg, lean clean sources of essential protein, lift weights and get of the cardio merry round. You wont be bloated, you'll be stronger, look younger, have more energy and your waistline will whittle and muscle/tone will no longer be so hard to achieve :D
