am i eating too much fruit compared to veges???

Question

i know fruit has a lot of sugars in them.. (i know its good, but its still sugar) and i have like an apple a day or a grapefruit, with maybe a handful of grapes or a slice or two of watermelon.

i know i should eat more veges then fruit, but all i can seem to even get is a carrot because i dont have time to steam some broccoli or beans etc... and they are gross raw.

i eat a lot of cereals (oats/wholegrain wheats/bran)
and like 2 slices of wholemeal bread.

but i also have like 200gms of vanilla low fat yogurt.

i dont want to get fat.

i know that its prob that carbs in the cereals.. and the sugar in them (weetbix/all bran/ muesli - nuts/dried fruit)

but i know that the carbs in oats and that are complex and better for you then the ones in fruits..

i'm confused.
would it be better to just cut out a LOT of my fruit and just eat the cereals.. or just eat the fruit etc? should i cut out the yogurt???

i cant seem to find a middle.. i want to lose weight (i dont excersise because ...

i'm recovering from an eating disorder..

but i still am very worried about what i'm eating.
i know its all healthy (i dont eat junk.chocoloates/lollies etc and only drink water)

but i have gained a bit of weight lately (i'm at the end stages of my recovery) and feel that i'm eating too much fatty stuf (i only started eating the oats/muesli about 2 weeks ago) and i'm addicted!!
i have like 2-3 serves a day (handfuls etc)

... please help me on my diet.

Answer 1

The cereal I eat (Life and store equivalents of Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios) have very little fat in them and sugar (not corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup: If they did have one or both in them, I would neither eat nor buy them). It's the same with my organic vanilla soy milk.

I don't think about carbs. I think the whole carb thing is just a great marketing gimmick for our thin and diet obsessed country. The carbs in whole grains might be better than fruit, but the carbs in both foods are natural, that's the important thing.
