Why Pinneapple?

[fortunatesun]

Yes , Bromelain is the digestive enzyme in Pineapples. Also pineapples are loaded with sugar, so eating sugar with protein is generally a good idea. You might wanna use some Glucorrel R with that though as pineapples have alot of sugar. IN FACT, I THINK IT'S THE HIGHEST GI FRUIT THERE IS

gjohsnson5 should win the karma award for this thread. Your trainer, JK, put pineapple on your menu because you are an ecto and need these types of foods to put on mass. A little in the morning with your protein is going to keep you going strong until lunch when your natural energy levels rebound.
Please don't analyze this situation now that you've seen the word fructose. Put your faith in your trainer, a national-level competitor.

Oatmeal is low GI , pineapple is high GI. There is a huge difference in eating glucose then eating complex carbs...

Pineapple has a GI of 59, I would consider that a moderate GI; Oatmeal has a GI of 48.

Here is a list of low GI fruits;
Blueberries, raspberries, apples (40), grapefruit (25), green grapes (43), cherries, kiwi (50), plums (24), pears (33), orange (51), prunes (29), banana (51)

*Low GI is defined as anything below 55.

Let is be noted that fruits are not 100% fructose
Grape Sugar = glucose for instance

There is just as much glucose in pineapples as there is fructose.

Don't listen to me as I am just stupid, read the chemical composition

Glucose is good, maybe even better than fructose. It's a simple sugar- not having the extra C molecule of sucrose. As a result, it's directly absorbed without having to be broken down in the digestive system where intake can be re-directed to storage.

Thanks for the link also.

Click on the link, jk.Pineapple is also a mild diuretic- will help with the bloat.

Yes I'm aware of this, however I was responding to what he said "pineapple has lots of carbs " not the Low GI foods compared to moderate GI foods.

Also people need to stop being afraid to eat a damn piece of fruit. I see so many people on here that are afraid to eat fruit yet they'll eat half a cow.

Oh and the GL is medium for oatmeal and low for pineapple. Might was well look at the whole picture.

I was under the impression pineapples were like 70ish on the GI scale due to the glucose content.

Here Pineapples are listed as 94 on the GI scale

DAAAAMN close... 66.

Personally, the way my body reacts to sugar (simple carbs in general) I'd pop some Glucorell-R.
