Sugars or Fats

I'm training to be a Navy WAVE and need some advice.
I'm trying to build muscle to prepare for boot camp, so I've decided to limit my sugar intake and eat a high protein diet.
I've been lifting weights, and drinking ISOPURE whey protein powder (no fat, no sugar). Aside from that I enjoy non-fat cottage cheese, and non-fat yogurt. I make it a point to make sure that the yogurt is low is sugar (only 4g per cup) but I also like to add trail mix/dried fruit. Trader Joe's has a great selection, but all are pretty high in sugar! I'm wondering, is it better to go for a mix that is lower in sugar but higher in natural fats (nut-based), or one that is fat-free but high in sugars (all-fruit mix). Thanks for your help!

Your body needs those healthy fats!!! nuts and oils!

It's scary how many people classify fruit along with all other sugars. Thank you, Atkins, for demonizing the healthiest components of a balanced diet.

Off the soapbox...if you're not getting fruit in your diet any other way, go for the high-fruit trail mix. You don't actually need *that* many nuts to get a shot of healthy fats (example: 10 peanuts = 1 serving of good fats according to the ADA guidelines).
