[SgtSlaughter]

The info is from the USDA site;http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/cgi-bin/list_nut_edit.pl

1 Cup Pineapple
19.58 g CHO
2.2g fiber
8.48g Sucrose(GI 61)
2.7g Dextrose/glucose (GI 100)
3.18g Fructose(GI 23)

My morning shake,
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries
1/3 cup oatbran cereal
1 cup broccoli
2/3 cup milk isolate powder

I've been advocating more consumption of fruit than conventional bodybuilding wisdom dictates for years.

Broccoli in your shake?

 

[javaguru]

Yep, it's the easiest way for me to get my veggies, I hate all forms of vegetables cooked in a healthy way.

So very very very true.

I agree that sugar isn't all that bad for you, but bromelian comes in a tablet form... No need to swallow sugar for a digestive enzyme that comes in high potencies without the sugar...

I try not to eat more then 30g of carbs in a sitting from fruit... but ya... my dude told me that pinapple is higher on the GI.. winter fruit are more ideal... but if you're bulking/maintaining I would really worry too much about it...

One thing to keep in mind regarding bromelain in regards to pineapple, is that during the canning process, most of the bromelain and other enzymes get denatured. Sticking with the frozen or fresh versions should be used.
