Fruit Calories Based on One Serving

Written by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites


Ranked Highest to Lowest in Caloric Values

Let's take a look at fruits that can fit very smoothly into almost any healthy weight loss plan.

As a note, fresh and natural fruits make excellent choices for snack time. If you opt for canned versions, ensure that they are packed in their natural juices.

If you choose the varieties packed in heavy or even light syrup, you'll be adding unnecessary energy values to your serving.

The versions that are packed in heavy syrup at times contain more kcals than 2 or more servings of the natural fruit contain.

In Summary

Fruits provide essential vitamins an minerals required by the human body for optimum health and are best consumed in their natural state - whether when trying to lose weight or not.

Adding sugars, cream, cream cheese, regular cheese or whipped cream to fruit will always add significant amounts of fatty acids which in turn will naturally increase the calorie values.
