Learning to eat competently: fruits and berries, caloric content and nutritional value

The problem of balanced nutrition is relevant almost for every second inhabitant of the Earth. Nutritionists are called to include in their diet as many berries and fruits as possible to combat excess weight and the diseases that follow them. However, everything is not so simple. It turns out that many gifts of nature should also be eaten with caution. Otherwise, instead of treasuring the discharge of kilograms, there is a threat of recruiting new ones.

With pencil and numbers

Yes, fresh fruit and berries calorie content is quite low. But many of them contain sucrose in large quantities. And it is rich in carbohydrates, the very ones that become a serious barrier to losing weight and a healthy lifestyle. For example, grapes for this reason for parting with weight is not good. He's too sweet, if you say it in a simple way. Or, say, dates. Against their background, other fruits and berries are clearly winning. Their caloric content is much less. But this is exactly in the background, do not forget! Or another example: we know that pineapple is one of the main food products with excess weight. It helps the body to process excess fat. But the overseas fruit contains 48 calories in 100 grams. Therefore, it is desirable to eat fruits and berries, caloric content still, too, counting.

Mistresses for a note
