cutting my exposure to fruit

at work, we have a catered breakfast and lunch that unfortunately all of unhealthy stuff you'd expect from your average restaurant breakfast offerings. i generally only order fruit, but now i'm cutting my breakfast from 16oz of fruit to 8oz. the fruit is mostly grapes, watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries, and i would typically eat about 80% of the 16oz (or 12.8oz, for those without calculators). that's too much. i stopped.

note that until about 9 months ago, i would order a 16oz odwalla c-monster. sounds healthy, right? WRONG. that's 300 calories, 72g of carbs (including 54g of sugar), and only 4g of protein. not good. and on top of that, i would get a side of breakfast potatoes....obviously packed with carbs and little nutritional value. so while the c-monster/potato combo was much healthier than what my colleagues were eating, it was still pretty bad. don't do that.
