I’ve been trying to lose weight recently and haven’t eaten dinner in the evening—instead, I usually just have one or two pieces of fruit. Could you please tell me which fruits are generally low in calories?

Low-calorie fruits refer to fruits that contain relatively few calories per 100 grams.

Common low-calorie fruits include strawberries, blueberries, kiwifruit, watermelon, grapefruit, and apples. The dietary fiber in these fruits enhances satiety and reduces overall food intake, thereby supporting weight loss.

Moreover, antioxidants found in low-calorie fruits—such as vitamin C and polyphenolic compounds—help neutralize free radicals, protect cellular health, and prevent chronic diseases.
