Fruit for Fruit, Tangerines and Tangelos would be the best choice. Ounce for Ounce, Grapefruit would be the best.

As for Juices, most are very high in Sugar...though Tomato Juice [typically considered a Vegetable, but really a Fruit] is pretty low as is Celery Juice [which is a Vegetable.] Lemon and Lime Juices are high, but can successfully be added in very small amounts [with a non-caloric sweetener] to water...to produce a drink that is low in carbs, yet has a Lemon and/or Lime taste.

It is possible to reduce or even eliminate most of the sugar in Fruit Juice. There are a number of Reduced Sugar Juices already out there. If the Orange industry is incapable of comprehending this, then they obviously don't have the sense to run a business properly.

BTW, all my numbers for Juices are based on the Juice itself. If you add extra sugar [as is often done,] the amount goes through the roof. Even back in my Low-Calorie [Low-Fat] days, I wouldn't touch Orange Juice because the stuff was so damn high in Calories [for a Drink.] For reference, Orange Juice has 1/3 more Calories than Soda. I would have been better off Calorically speaking, drinking a Coke.
