The calorie is literally a unit of taste.

go fig

it’s rich in antioxidants fatty, I’m sure you can sacrifice 45 cal for a piece.

my diet = alcohol + raw meat

>>18030929
dude if you want low calorie fruit fucking eat watermellon. A whole giant melon (which you cant eat without getting sick) is 500 calories. For reference half a pound of watermelon is 40 calories

Plus, unlike figs, watermelon doesn't have dead wasps in them.

>>18031008
Also try frozen blueberries

>>18031017
tru. Berries in general are low calorie. Strawberries are lower calorie than blueberries and a frozen strawberry takes more effort to eat than a single frozen blueberry.

I actually cut my watermellon into cubes and freeze them for a snack.

>>18030929
ohnoes, a couple figs, that are under 100 calories. figure out 90 damn calories in your diet, tubby. have a smaller portion size for lunch of whatever.

>>18031008
>Plus, unlike figs, watermelon doesn't have dead wasps in them.

>>18031042
Last time I froze my strawberries they came out like fucking bricks, but maybe if you freeze them at a higher temp? Idk.

>>18031008
neither do most species of figs, retard.

>>18030929
Dried fruit is higher in calories since the water has been removed. Stick with fresh fruit if calories are a concern.

>>18031065
Born to fuck then die (and have the fig absorb your body)

>>18030929
looks like poop lmao

>>18031070
in order for my strawberries to not chunk together I do them in small batches, then once frozen i put in a larger container.

Also how is 45 cal too much, what even is your daily calorie limit?
You shouldn't cut too much too fast, losing more than 10% body weight a month is a health risk.

watermelon has nearly 9g of sugar per 100g, that's coca cola tier. A small watermelon without skin weights around 1,400g. That's around 130g of pure sugar without any other nutrients. Only basketball americans think watermelon is a healthy fruit.

>>18031898
I regularly eat over a kilo of fruit per day but I'm too low IQ to understand the distinction between added sugar and natural sugar.

The only thing that helps is daily cardio training anyway.

>>18031950
There is non. Arguably fructose (fruit sugar) is even worse, specially for blood glucose. The only sugar that you can disregard is lactose (sugar naturally found in dairy) as it gets broke down much more slowly due to fats and protein, as well as being part of a highly nutricious food in of itself. For blood sugar and insulin health always consume your sugars, if you have to, with fats and protein (personally always at least 1:2 (sugar to protein+fat ratio) as well as keeping active afterwards aka using the sugar. Worst you can do is eaing fruits in front of a netflix binge.

I don't eat the skin, only the inside part. People who eat the skin are doing it wrong.

Nobody saying to "never eat fruit", just consider it candy and keep its sugar in mind. Go for some beeries or just eat one banana as a dessert. An apple is fine if you're hiking or out and about as a energy snack. Just don't think that just because you get your sugar from fruit suddenly it wont be sugar anymore.

>>18032167
>>18032165
>rminding people of nutritional facts in what they consume is shilling
Yeah, just because something doesn't have a label, doesnt mean it's heathy or nutricious. Most fruits have been breed to a retarded degree where its all sugar and little to no fieber or vitamins. No different to directly chunking down high fructose corn sirup. Just grow out there and have just been concentrated. The only shills are assmad vegans and literal apes.

>>18032174

>>18032183
I'm homgrowing my own tomatoes, which are basically high sugar fruits at this point and don't even buy processed shit anymore. I'm neither keto nor a shill, just someone aware of hos bloodsugar and nutrition works. Jus go buy a blood glucose monitor and check yours after eating a big bowl of healthy fruitsa fter 30 and again at 60 minutes. Changes are it will be higher than the equivalent of a snickers, as the fat and protei in a snickers actually slows down the sugar release. Thats why I said you should consume your sugars with fat and proetin, ideally also fiber, not stay away from them. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be, tard.

Calling multiple posters which occasionally post here one person is a real grape brain moment. You know, people are becoming more aware of what they put in their pie holes and try to alert others of it. Instead of being retarded and trying to shittalk them down, feel free to point out the mistakes, if you find any in our logic. Currently it's just /pol/ boogyman style tard panic.

You're getting ridiculous. Just stop or tell me why you think fruit sugar is somehow better than sugar cubes in massive amounts.

You accuse me of being a coorp shill of processed foods, which somone who homegrows fucking hardly would be. Get your story straight and try next time. Either way, thanks for bumping and giving me (you)s so other anons will more likely see what I wanted to share and how those opposing it lack any argument outside of unironically southpark posting and capslocking.

You've now convinced me to #nevereatfruit

>>18032181
They still have far more nutritional value than candy without all the additional ingredients that are added to processed foods. You can only draw the conclusion that fruit is candy if you're a brain-rotted fatass looking for justification for your poor diet and can't think to compare the whole of both foods.

The amount of minerals and vitamins is much, much, much higher per 100g in vegetables. You eat your meats and veggies and fruits as a dessert. All essential vitamins can be found in vegetables, most only in those. On the contrary it's semi-diabetic infantile retard which think that five fruits a day will give them relevant amounts of vitamins, while sneering at nasty leafy greens because they're icky and not soo sweety sweet.

This isn't about vegetables at all. Of course they're are higher in nutritional value and should be a larger percentage of one's diet than fruit. I'm just pointing out that the guy equating fruits with candy ignores everything but sugar content, aside from saying that modern fruits lack nutrition compared to their ancestors (thought they're still better than any candy).

>>18031101
They have a wild lifecycle. Born inside a fig, if you're a male you fuck an unborn female, dig your way out and die. If you're a female you're born pregnant, fly to a fig flower, tear your body apart crawling in, lay eggs and die.

When the amount of calories is three digits, then it can be a lot, like with meat and fat. You are supposed to mainly eat grains, vegetables and fruit so that way you don't get a lot of calories.

45 calories is not much for a dense, filling fruit.
You dont want to eat too many anyways or youll get the shits.
Also, more calories does not equal "unhealthy". You need calories to live. The problem is when something has a lot of calories but doesn't make you feel full or provide enough nutrition.

Vit C is pretty low in vegetables compared to some fruits like kiwi

In general fruits are a excellent source of vit, minerals and extra nutritional compounds

>>18035523
>In general fruits are a excellent source of vit, minerals and extra nutritional compounds

Not really. fruits suck ass for nutrition compared to vegetables. vitamin C is the exception

>>18032025

> Worst thing you can do is eating fruits in front of
Fruits as a whole are packed with fibers which promote satiety in short-medium term (thus really hard to overeat) and slow down the effect of fruit's sugar

>>18035533
No it's not. They are both good source of vit and minerals but fruits which protect and "feed" the seed is packed with them
For this reason it also have a bigger amount of sugar respect to vegetables but it's pants on head retard suggesting to substitute fruit with vegetables

Feels good not to crave sugar and starch.

Certain types of fig are male and female and so require a special breed of wasp to pollinate the females.

The female wasp crawls inside through a hole so narrow that she loses her wings in the process and becomes trapped. If the fig is a male, she lays her eggs inside. These hatch into larvae that burrow out, turn into wasps and fly off, carrying fig pollen with them. If the wasp climbs into a female fig, she pollinates it, but cannot lay her eggs and just dies alone.

Luckily for us, the female fig produces an enzyme that digests this wasp completely. The crunchy bits are seeds, not wasp parts.

That wouldn't be as bad as 45 calories from something containing simple sugars like lollies or chocolate. Complex sugars in fruits are better for you than simple ones but don't over do it.
You can look up the carb (includes sugars) content of most foods with Google (search: "carbs in x" and it will tell you how many carbs per 100g is in that food) and use what you find to make informed choices about what to eat and when. You don't have to cut out high sugar fruits but save them for treats.

One thing I will suggest for your weight loss is intermittent fasting. I've struggled with weight issues and that has been the only thing to work. Left me feeling better than ever and you don't end up missing the junk you used to eat. You only miss junk when you're in the midst of a sugar addiction.
