Here is the basic sugar count of common fruits and when they should be incorporated into ones diet.

Preworkout
These fruts provide higher fructose than glucose for sustained fuel that wont block fat burning.
Fruit Total Sugars Fructose Glucose
Pear (1 medium) 16 11 5
Watermelon 1 wedge 18 12 6
Apple (1 medium) 14 9 5
Cantaloupe ½ melon 22 12 10
Grapes (1 cup) 24 13 11
Strawberries(2 Cups) 14 8 6
Raspberries (2 Cups) 10 6 4

Morning
These fruits provide equal or nearly equal fructose and glucose to restock liver and muscle glycogen to help halt muscle breakdown.
Fruit TS Fructose Glucose
Pineapple(1cupdiced) 13 7 6
Honeydew melon(1wedge) 13 7 6
Orange (1 medium) 12 6 6
Banana (1meduim) 18 9 9
Blueberries (1 cup) 14 7 7
Nectarine (1 Medium) 10 5 5
Kiwi Fruit (2 Medium) 12 6 6

Postwokout
These fruits provide more glucose than fructose for restocking muscle glycogen and enhancing muscle growth. (the last five fruits from the morning fruit category are also decent choices postworkout, for their ability to fill glycogen stores.)

Fruit TS Fructose Glucose
Cherries (1 cup) 14 6 8
Peach (1 medium) 8 3 5

All quantities of sugars are in grams.

fruits are great for pre/post w/o foods but what about before bed when your body still need some carbs to get thru the night (coupled with protien of course)
