Fruits can be regarded next to the sugar cane, with low nutrition but high energy availability. Vegetables are high in nutrition, but low in taste, and energy. On one hand, yes they're like a dessert to the Mediterranean diet, however you can mix it in dishes like orange chicken with bell peppers, cherry glaze chicken with maybe broccoli salad side, and a chicken salad with dried fruits to make them good. If a dish tastes bad like most extreme diet food, the body stresses out to maintain a health eating pattern to reach for anything sweet for energy. Remember, sugar is just energy in any food bread, vegetables, or milk. Unless ketosis but then that's another topic in itself. What I like to do is that some days. In a sense, I can have my cheat days if the dish is sweet, so I won't overindulge extra the following week needy. Fried food, well, I don't skip those. I eat a lot as an Asianophile/ Latino myself. You can consider it alternate energy, but low nutrition. Just add more produce sides in the same day or so. Fat does help metabolize minerals.

Cheering you on friend.
