On the note with OJ; OJ is remarkably nutritious for a fruit, so much so that 1175 calories of OJ w/ 1 cup of refined, nutrient-deplete sugar (1950 total calories for both) is just as nutritious as 1950 calories of dates! Drinking OJ or eating oranges as your main source of carbohydrate will allow you to eat plenty of refined sugar without sacrificing nutrients in the same way as eating a diet based on say, dates and white sugar.
