    coincidentally I am snacking on my jimmy delights breakfast sandwich and 195 grams of blueberries (100 cals apx.). Who cares! Stop worrying about carbs. Eat within your calorie range for weight loss. Get sufficient protein. Be active and workout. Repeat for many days consistently.

    ETA: Holy cow zombies.

    Ok I am trying to watch my carb intake, I just logged half a cup of blueberries and it has 21 grams of carbs. Geez this is crazy, if its low cal its high in carbs, if its low carbs its not healthy. OMG sometimes this can be overwhelming, but the journey countinues.:ohwell:

    Oh my! Someone send out the alerts, Merica' is getting fat from to many blueberries.

    Eat your blueberries.

    As long as it fits in your macros, what difference does it make? Blueberries are great for you...lots of vitamins, including tons of C and potassium, antioxidants, and fiber. They're good for bladder infections just like cranberries, and they help inflammation. And you can eat a ton of them for less than 100 cals. Freeze them and pop them in your mouth for a great dessert. Or mix them with Cool Whip Free and squish them a little. They're superfoods, and delicious! What more do you want from them?

    Ya, fruit has a lot of carbs due to the fructose. It's unfortunate that if you are trying to eat low-carb, you really have to limit your fruit intake.

    As long as carbs and sugar come from fruit, you have no worries, fruit and veg are the things humans thrive off :)

    you need to fuil your body with good stuff so it can function. Fruits like blueberries, bananas, apples and others are so good for you and your body. You should have plenty of them!
