[Da_Eggman]

this is a cool list and all but anybody with common sense should know whats good to eat and whats not

Why am I avoiding bananas?

A banana is just the densest piece of fruit that you can put in your body, and since it doesn't have much fiber, it won't keep you full

Mangos are high in sugar but also have a lot of benefits

 

[Lazy Migrant]

Yea, I just consider this a rough guide. I was eating a lot of simple carbs so I wanted to research complex carbs. Out with the breads in with potatoes. I'd definitely not going to stop eating watermelon anytime soon.
