On our blog Is Your 5 a Day Affecting Your Results On The Scales?? We discussed the calorie values of fruit, and how easy it can be to consider fruit to be both ‘free and zero’, when actually it isn’t. As stated it is important for a healthy body to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day, however many of us regularly eat far more fruit as we also use it as a sweet alternative snack, it also raised the question of what’s the difference in calorie value of fruit and vegetables?
As there can be some confusion between whether or not something is a fruit or a vegetable the decision was made using “would you eat it in a fruit salad or not”
So here you have a guide to the calories in vegetables, and as expected most are considerably lower than fruit, so it might be that we need to change our fruit snacking habits and include more vegetables as an alternative snack.

I bulk up my meals with lots of vegetables, and I need to experiment with more variety after seeing these choices. I have though bought more frozen veg lately as understand the nutritional content is sometimes better. Convenient when doing casseroles, stirfrys and omelettes etc.

Why are tinned carrots 14 calories less per 100g then fresh? Doesn’t make sense lol. Interesting read thank you for taking the time to set it all out for us. I’ve definitely started focusing more on fresh veg in preference to fruit since we highlighted the calories in fruit 🤔
