So I thought raisins were really good for you but they killed me today on calories and carbs? Is it really that bad to eat them?

    They are really good in mod. (Key- A little goes a long way) i eat a 1/4 of a box of raisins everyday which is about 33 cals but they add such a supper sweat flavor to my oats that I can't live with out 'em. Also they are a good source of fiber!

    I just couldn't believe that 1/4 cup of raisins would equal 130 calories! Totally blew my mind. Thanks for the input though!

    It seems like only a couple tablespoons is more in line with 1 fruit serving.

    bil......that is what this site is all about in my opinion: Learning

    I NEVER read the side of a box prior to MFP. I looked at the Kraft Mac and Cheese box for a serving, because I would split the box with my DD. Well it holds 4-5 servings!! I was eating for 2 or 3 ppl!

    I have enjoyed the process thus far, but am still learning something new each day.

    keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:
