I can have? I gave up sugar/bread, no problem here, but I can't make
it without fruits!

Without any info as to what exactly it is you're trying to do, the
basic answer is to buy a packet size food guide that lists the amounts
of carbs. Data is also available online, including usda database:

You still need to choose exactly what you're thinking of eating, and a
serving size, and calculate grams of carbs from that to see how they
fit into your food plan.

Note that I have a search engine that's designed to find foods that
fit you food plan: http://www.delorie.com/health/ns/

Example - fruits with less than 10% calories from carbs:

Same, but 10% carbs by *weight*, plus 2% fiber:

Bananas are ugly bags of mostly sugar. Avocados are great, but make
sure you get the Haas-type California ones with the rumpled skin; they
have more fat and flavor than the smooth-skinned Florida kind. Carrots
can be okay in small amounts, but count their carbs like anything else.

What is the least harming fruit I can have? I gave up sugar/bread, no
problem here, but I can't make it without fruits!

Starting with the best: strawberries, other berries, melon, cherries,
peaches. With all fruits, simply count the carbs and make sure you stay
under your plan's limits. With the higher-carb fruits, you just can't
have as much. If you'd rather have 1/4 cup of peaches than 3/4 cup of
strawberries, no problem.

What about nuts? I LOOOOVE adding dry toasted nuts/sunflower seeds/
sesame to salads.

Nuts are good, but like all seeds, they have anti-nutrients that keep
them from breaking down before they're in the right conditions to
germinate. These anti-nutrients will bond with the beneficial nutrients
in the nuts (or in other things you eat with them) and keep you from
absorbing them. To remove these, soak the nuts overnight in salt water
(about 1 tablespoon per gallon), then dry them in an oven or dehydrator.
They taste great this way, too.

What about legumes? chickpeas? Beans? Peas? Peanuts?

Green beans will usually fit fine, as will snow peas or snap
(edible-podded) peas. Peanuts can work, in moderation. Legumes
(including shelled peas) are usually too carby to have more than a
spoonful or two.

With all these things, count the carbs. Only meat, oils, and butter
have no carbs at all, so everything else should be counted.
