If there’s one thing we love about fruit, it’s that you can’t go wrong. No matter what you reach for in the produce aisle, chances are it’s chock-full of essential nutrients and really, really good for you. But not all fruits are created equal, since some have the added benefit of being lower in calories than others. However, it's not always the calorie count you should fixate on, but serving sizes. Amy Goodson, R.D., says “as registered dietitians, we say you can eat as many vegetables as you want, but the same is not true with fruit because it is a sugar and those calories need to be accounted for." She recommends reaching for fruits with higher fiber counts (such as fruits with skin like apples, peaches, and berries) to help you feel full faster—and thus be less likely to overeat. Not sure what a serving looks like? Here’s a cheat sheet, courtesy of Goodson: 1 serving of a single fruit = apple, peach or other small base-ball sized fruit

1 serving of berries = 3/4 cups berries

1serving chopped fruit = 1/2 cup chopped

1 serving of a banana = 1/2 banana

1 serving of dried fruit = 1/4 cup dried fruit

1 serving of bite-size fruits = 15 grapes or cherries

As a guide, limit yourself to around four servings of fruit per day, according to Goodson. “While it comes from the ground, it is a sugar, and must be counted accordingly in your caloric budget,” she says. She also wants you to banish the myth that you can go nuts on eating certain low-calorie fruits as a way to avoid spin class (the thinking being that the effort expended on eating the fruits cancels out their low calorie count). But "negative calories" are not a thing, says Goodson. “Fruits with edible skin do contain fiber and fiber does not digest, but rather pushes ‘stuff’ through your gastrointestinal tract,” she says. “Technically this means that you do not reap the calories from the fiber, however as a rule of thumb, we still recommend individuals look at the total carbohydrate count and use that toward total calorie counting.” And while not everyone is looking to (or wants to!) count calories, folks who have particular nutrition needs or weight-loss goals might be particularly interested in knowing the exact calories of the fruits and veggies they're eating. Here, the fruits with the lowest calories to add to your diet.
