Just my personal experience / 2cents:
I eat a diet very high in fruit. I absolutely love it. Never had a problem getting lean with it. I also feel faster and in better condition when i’m on a diet that consists of lots of watermelon, bananas, grape fruit, coconut water, etc. (my main focus is sprinting, running, jumping etc, a diet high in fruit seems to be most effective for me)
My best pre-race / pre-important session meal is literally just a quarter watermelon, hydration + sugar.
peace!
