Fruit

 

Many people think it's okay to eat unlimited fruit while on a slimming plan. And it's true that fruit is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre - qualities that make fruit a very beneficial part of any healthy eating plan.

However, if you're looking to lose pounds, it's important to realize that there are no foods that have a calorie count of zero, so it's important to pay attention to what you can eat, and how much - even when it comes to fruit.

While fruit is certainly much better for you and lower in fat than many other sweet food options like cookies and cakes, it's important to remember that sugars of any kind translate into high calorie counts.

This means that believing that you can fill up on apples, pears, strawberries and mangos because they're healthy and fat-free may actually sabotage your slimming plan. The good news is, the calorie counter facility available through TheFitmap.com website can help you find out the calorie counts of dozens of your favourite fresh produce items - so you can have your watermelon, and eat it too!

The calorie counting facility not only helps you to find out how many calories are in your bowl of fresh blueberries, it can be used as a critical tool in your slimming strategy. By entering your current weight, your ideal weight, and the date you'd like to reach your goal weight, the calorie counter can tell you how many calories you should be consuming each day.

You can also find other important nutritional information about the foods you eat, such as how much fibre is found in peaches, what is the fat content of mangos, and even how many carbs are in a bunch of grapes!

By making the best use of our calorie counter function, you can make sure you get your recommended daily allowance of pineapple, apricots, or raspberries, while staying well within the bounds of your slimming plan - allowing you to stay healthy and lose weight at the same time! Why not look up the calorie count of your apple or banana right now?
