Figs are relatively high in fructose... I would limit them, or stay away.Cory

Thought so.. But I really, really want some! 😛 I get why you can't have fruit on low carb days, but why is it bad on carb nite?

It is just not as preferable as glucose. You can have some, but limit it. The problem is, the liver cannot process it fast enough. There are also a myriad of health issues that can arise from high fructose consuption.Cory

I'm with you, Surfer. Figs are an amazing thing. I wish I could stuff my face with them, but alas, the fructose. 🙂
