Fruit calorie bomb! 1 durian 3,000 calories

Fruits are rich in vitamin C and contain a variety of natural nutrients. They are the preferred food of many people who need to lose weight. Some even eat fruits as a main meal. However, not all fruits have the effect of losing weight. Some fruits have an alarmingly high sugar content. If you eat these calorie-rich fruits every day, it will not only be detrimental to weight loss, but will also cause you to consume too many calories.

Eating 3-4 bananas has the same calories as a bowl of rice

The calories in a fruit depend on whether it contains more water or sugar, so most of the high-calorie fruits on the list are low in water and sweeter. For example, bananas contain almost no water and are full of sugar. One banana has 60 calories, which is equivalent to eating 3 to 4 bananas for a bowl of rice (220 to 280 calories). The flesh of one durian is almost equal to 60 calories, and a whole durian can even contain more than 3,000 calories, which is the enemy of those who want to lose weight.

Other fruits such as bananas, sugar apples, sugar cane, persimmons, longans, etc. are also low in water and high in sugar. The daily intake should be moderately controlled. People who are losing weight should avoid these fruit landmines and try to choose fruits rich in water or high in fiber to increase satiety and replenish water.

Don't touch processed products with alarming amounts of sugar

Nowadays, many dried fruits, canned fruits or preserves made from fruits on the market seem to be very healthy, but they are actually a big trap. Although they are mainly made of fruits, they may be fried or have a lot of sugar added to pickle and enhance flavor during the processing. The nutrients in the fruit itself have long been lost, leaving only a lot of sugar and calories. 100 grams of dried mango has 331 calories, dried carambola has 308 calories, and candied pineapple has 326 calories.

High in fiber, juicy, low in calories, a good choice for weight loss

Choosing low-calorie fruits that are rich in dietary fiber and water is a good helper for weight loss. For example, kiwi fruit, which is high in vitamin C, can help whiten and beautify the skin. It also contains a large amount of proteolytic enzymes and dietary fiber, which help digestion and eliminate waste from the body. Apples, tomatoes, and guava are also high-quality fruits that are low in calories and high in fiber. Every 100 grams of guava has only 39 calories, tomatoes have 25 calories, and apples have 50 calories, and all contain more than 1 gram of dietary fiber.

It is recommended that the average person consume 2 to 3 servings of fruit every day, but regular meals should not be neglected. It is also not recommended to replace a meal directly with fruit, as this will not only affect the intake of other nutrients, but some fruits are cold in nature, and eating fruit on an empty stomach may be harmful to the stomach.
