Should I stay clear of milk and fruit while cutting?

No. Just keep things within your macros.

Thank you IK. I wasn't sure because of the amount of simple sugars in fruit. I know its good to eat piece post workout for the insulin spike, but the complex carbs fuel for longer. Should I stick to 2-3 pieces a day? 1 with breakfast, 1 for lunch, and 1 after training?

It was easy when I was a hardgainer and needed to put on mass, but now that I need to lose it thats a totally different.

Fructose (the main sugar in fruits) doesn't impact blood sugar levels like other simple carbs do. So, pwo, when you're wanting an insulin spike, fruit isn't the best choice. A few grams worth of fruit is fine to have, but you want to primarily have something else like cereals, breads, rice... things that WILL give you an insulin spike.
