Fruit Calorie Content Information - Low Calorie Fruit Diet

Fruits make for excellent snacking options when you are on a weight loss spree. What’s more, you can replace a heavy dinner with a bowl of fruit salad and a glass of milk to make your dinner healthy and fat free. However, the best of dieticians will recommend some fruits over the others.

Fruits have natural sugars in them. In some fruits like bananas and mangoes, the quantity of sugar is concentrated and therefore they should be avoided when on a weight loss diet.

It has been observed that the fruits that have higher water content usually have a lower calorie count. This is because the water content not only replenishes the fluid balance in the body, but is also able to satiate the body more. Often, we mistake thirst for hunger and increase the calorie intake when all we actually needed was water. While it is easy to binge on foods with low water content, a high water content fruit has more satiety value and it is thus difficult to overeat.

Calorie Content Per Serving Of Fruit Diet

The calorie content also depends a lot on the portion size or the servings of a fruit that you are eating. The portion sizes are different for different fruits and calorie content of each portion is calculated from a commonly agreed average piece of the fruit.

Along with the vast potential for weight control, fruits also tend to decrease the risk of cardio vascular diseases and cancers. If you have high blood pressure, ingesting fruits can help reduce the pressure and also cholesterol. A healthy fruit diet is also said to slow down the aging process of the body.

Fruits also make you feel fresh and energetic. Here are the calorie contents of some of the commonly ingested fruits.
