You could argue the complexity of the oats is bad for a good surge (punny) of energy around workout time just as much as you could argue the fruit is consumed too quickly… I guess.
I think if you're talking about maximizing calories and food for best nutrients and bang-for-buck on low cals… I'd still prolly argue in some form the fruit. It ain't all about the MACROs… sometimes it's the micronutrients that matter. Grains, by and large, aren't gonna have the nice antioxidant potential of some good berries.
If you're talking about filling per calorie, I think it depends on the individual's response to various foods and the rest of their diet. I mean, low fat means fewer calories, but potentially less satiation for many people… so a low-fat diet isn't necessarily a good choice. Same could likely be said for different kinds of carbs.
But what do I know? *shrug*
