Your view, carb-wise, on fruit?
I guess it depends if this is daily and how much... but lots of carbs in general.
The more carbs you eat, the more you crave :(

For me, my carb sensitivity, and my plan- yes, too high. I had 2-3 strawberries once in a blue moon. Fruit is essentially natures little sugar bombs, aka candy. Nutrition wise, they don't hold a whole lot- if you compare them ounce for ounce with veggies.. even broccoli has more vit C than an orange.. and more fiber, and much higher nutrient density.. Does it taste sweet- no, but it's a much better bang for your sleeve room buck.
What's your carb target per day? Only you can answer if they have too many carbs.. but one apple is a whole day's carb allotment for me honestly. I still only eat fruit rarely, and it's the strawberries I grow. If you do go for fruit, you may want to look into which ones are the lowest on the glycemic index & load tables, and those are usually berries.

During my weight loss phase I didn't really do any fruit. Too many carbs, too much sugar. If I didn't need it, it didn't go in my mouth because it was taking away valuable protein space.
In maintenance I'll have a few berries here or there, but that's about the extent of it.
Listen to Jo, only you can say what's right for you. If you're craving it, there may been something your body needs... Like vitamin c? But then again, I crave pretzels and I certainly I don't need those!

Ditto! And even in maintenance I don't have fruit more than twice a day (usually only once) because of the continuous carb craving cycle it can put me in.

About once a month (for the last 2 months) I've let myself have a Chicken Strawberry Poppyseed salad from Panera. I've made sure my carbs are super low the rest of the time so no fruit. I also make sure I still keep my carbs under 60g on those days and both times I've made it my long run day, so it would normally be a higher carb day for me anyway. It doesn't cause me to crave them and I just enjoy what I have, so I've allowed it to stay. If eating one made me crave more I would stop.
