Precisely. My whole life I was told to stay away from fat and eat my fruits and veggies. I loooove fruits and veggies, but was only recently told they were high in carbs in my 30s. I just assumed they were healthy since that's what I was told my whole life. Kinda sucks since I'm repulsed by seafood and am not a big meat eater (I identify as flexitarian).
The closest thing to formal education about nutrition I received were the now-obsolete posters of the food pyramid randomly plastered around my middle school.
Nothing wrong with fruits and veggies at all. You need carbs to survive. It's the juice not having fiber thing that will really load you up with calories and get your pancreas working overtime. It's the complex carbs in the fruits and veg that your body really wants.
Idk it's what my endo told me. My diet is primarily whole fruits and veggies, he warned me to eat less fruit because of carbs 🤷♀️
If you live a semi-active lifestyle and aren't diabetic or pre-diabetic, IANAD, but I wouldn't be super concerned about eating the odd apple or banana.
If you have the time and money I highly recommend a nutrition class at your local community college.
