Calories in Fresh Fruit

Calories in Fresh Fruit -



Don't be afraid to eat fresh fruit because of their calories! The calories in fruit are sure not the kind of calories you will get fat from. Sure it is possible to gain weight if you would want to, even on a raw food diet or fruit only diet, but you would have to eat large quantities of the more calorie-rich fruits, dried fruit and nuts to do so.

And after all we need calories in our diet too! But if you are trying to cut some calories though, you could do that by replacing some of your non-fruit snacks with fruit, and also by leaving out the fruit juice (concentrated, store bought) you have with your meals or by not buying that chocolate bar - did you know chocolate has around 550 calories per 100 grams... and concentrated juice is much higher in calories than fresh fruit juice or whole fruits...

A few common Calories in Fresh Fruit questions:

How many calories are in fruit?

All fruits have a different calorie amount.

Fresh fruits are much lower in calories than dried.

But some dried fruit instead offers more nutritional benefits, like for example dried apricots that are super high in iron.

You can find a list with the amount of calories in each fruit here Fruit Calories and if you go through the questions below you will find answers too.

Does fruit juice have more calories than fresh fruit?

Yes! but not the fruit juice you squeeze at home. The calorie amount of an orange doesn't change when you make juice out of it at home. But store bought juice has a lot more calories than fresh fruit.

Example:

100 grams of freshly squeezed orange juice contains 30 calories

100 grams of concentrated orange juice contains 192 calories
