yeah, my point is just that getting the same ratio of "stuff" from better sources is better for the body from a holistic perspective. i really don't like the reductionist science stuff that says a certain ratio of grams of protein, carbs, etc is what the body needs. it totally misses the mark on how absorbable and useful those calories are, and misses things that aren't studied, like enzymes and the interaction of different phytochemicals, what the effects of pasteurizing foods are, etc. that type of science will basically tell you that the HFCS in gatorade is just as good for you as eating an orange and drinking some water after a race (actually, it will tell you that the gatorade is better for you! ha!)
there are plenty of examples of superb athletes fueling themselves with crap. the fact is, they are just built to be as fast/strong as they are. sometimes, they are good despite what they put into themselves, instead of because of what they put into themselves. i'd go for the fruit with some greek yogurt.
this coming from a person who, back in college, ate a pint of jerry's the night before a race, blew through the school record, and now continue to justify my ice cream addiction with that example. in fact, the mud pie i ate saturday night before the AC paddle was justified as "carbo loading" so I'm a COMPLETE hypocrite.
