When I started dieting, I was surprised to find how many calories were in fruit - obviously because of the natural sugars, but back then I didn't know.
I recently looked up blackberries, and 75g of the tasty bad boys were only 32 calories!!
My question, quite simply, is are they for real? Just seems too good to be true...

Had some with lunch today! They are for real!! They are kind of expensive (usually $2.99 for a cup, so 2 servings) but I still buy them every week if my store has them.0

Good to know, blackberry vines grow wild all over our property so we're up to our eyes in berries right now. There's always a Tupperware full on the bottom shelf of the fridge this time of year for my kids to grab whenever, I usually don't eat them but may start.0

most -berries have low calories and natural sugar content. Raspberries are my favorite hands down0
-
I love the berries, any berries and they are the best low glycemic fruit to eat, also low in cals.0

I pick quarts and quarts of them in the summer here because they grow wild and then freeze them in quart bags. I put a cup of frozen berries in my morning oatmeal and it thaws the berries and cools off the hot oatmeal. The berries taste very fresh that way! Yes, the calories are low but the natural sugars are still there so watch that if necessary. I do the same with raspberries in my oatmeal too- very yummy!0

They are for real. Delicious, nutritious and low in calories. Unfortunately for me, they are outrageously expensive in my area. :grumble:0

Right now is the time for wild blackberries, too. I've been going out every day and picking, then freezing them.
They are so good, and I feel like a Superhero after eating them, with all the nutrients. Must. Go. Out. Now....0 -
Most berries are fairly low in calories. Raspberries are high in fiber, too! :happy:0

I eat a lot of berries of all types. Frozen berries make a great smoothie.0
-
oh i too am a berry queen....give me berries any time0
-
they also are VERY high in fiber.0

Just so you all know I work for a fresh fruit company...
The frozen berries are cheap last forever and have exactly the same nutrients as fresh...
even better toss them in your home made smoothie and use less ice - add 1 scoop whey, 1/4 cup non fat greek yogurt and stevia mix it in a blender and you have the BEST desert you have had on a diet!0 -

if you have a Costco membership you can get a large container for 5.99 - 7.99 depending on the season.0 -

OMG!! I would love to have Blackberry vines growing on my property!!!0 -
I live in the UK and they grow wild everywhere, we also have other great berries growing wild such as black elderberries0
-
The darker the berry...the more good stuff it contains!0
-
I'm very jealous of those that say they have berries growing wild. I love Blackberry everything.0
-
If I eat them I swell up ...bummer to be allergic! Berries are your best choice for lower calorie and less carbs )0
-
They're usually high in fibre too. (I didn't look up blackberries, but I eat strawberries weekly and they're great for fibre). Knowlege is (yummy) power!!!0

All berries are low calorie and low glycemic; apples and pears are also a great choice (oh for very low calorie fruit and low glycemic honey dew melon and cantaloupe)
