Fruits you should avoid if you are trying to lose weightš
š¤Avocado
Any high-calorie fruit should be consumed less. One of these high-calorie fruits is avocado; it is said that 100 gram of this fruit contains about 160 calories. While avocado is a good source of healthy fats, it can up your numbers on the weighing scale easily when consumed beyond reasonable amounts. This doesn't mean you completely eliminate it out of your diet, it is best to eat this fruit in moderation.
š¤Grapes
While they are great for overall health, grapes are loaded with sugar and fats, which makes them the wrong fruit to eat while on a strict weight loss diet. 100 grams of grapes may contain 67 calories, and 16 grams of sugar, which means regular intake of these tiny delights could cause weight gain.
š¤Dry fruits
Dry fruits like prunes, raisins, et al have more calories as they are void of water content. It is said that one gram of raisins may contain more calories as compared to grapes. So, about a cup of raisins contains 500 calories and one cup of prunes contains over 450 calories, which is a lot if you are watching your weight. It is best to eat dry fruits in limited quantities.
š¤Banana
Yes, you read that right! Banana is super-healthy, but it is something you cannot have in excess. Bananas come loaded with calories and have excessive natural sugars present in it. One banana has about 150 calories, which is about 37.5 grams of carbohydrates. So, if you are someone who consumes 2-3 bananas every day, chances are this could lead to weight gain. It is best to have just one banana a day. Being low in glycaemic index, banana can, in fact, make for a healthy snack when enjoyed in moderation.
