Fruit calories

Losing weight can be so much easier with a diet containing lots of fruit and vegetable needs. The reason is calories in fruit are usually very low, mainly due to the large percentage of water present in most fruits. This high water content can help replenish fluid balance and make you feel fresh and ready for exercise. It is also hard to overeat with fruit portions as the large water and fibre content causes the stomach to fill up quickly. For this reason it may be a good idea to eat a piece of fruit before each meal.
