Does anybody know which fruits have the least sugar content? Seems that all my favourities are the ones full of fruit sugars...

I always manage to come in on target for calories, under for fat but I blow it on sugar everyday, so I'm trying to cut back on this.

Thanks :happy:

  • berries seem to be lowest in sugar- cranberries, raspberries, blackberries etc.

    I have the same problem, but I don't worry about it because I figure it's natural sugar and it's also way less than I used to consume in one Mountain Dew (and I used to drink 2 or 3 of those a day)!

    Yes it is natural sugar, but if it is not used as energy it still gets stored as fat.

    I had the issue last summer.. i'm a " chocolate lover " so .. i need sugar, found out that grapes can satisfy my cravings- i had them every day.. and not just " one cup" i had them a lot, probably 2-3 -4 cups sometimes through out the day.. and i just couldn't loose any weight no matter what i tried.
    So after almost two months of not being able to lose a pound i looked over my food diary and noticed that the only thing i had every day were grapes.. so decided to cut them out for a week and see what happens..
    lost 6 lbs that week !

    so yes, better than soda and chocolate, but still has to be in moderation
