Overview calories fruit/100gr

I'm experimenting a bit with oats for breakfast as I have a huge leftover bag and find that if I put skyr over them before going to bed it's actually really filling in the morning (though I prefer the crunchiness of the non-soaked ones).
Ok, I need more fruit variation. Sweet fruits that come in small portions so I don't throw the leftover away. Does anyone know a good calorie overview of different fruits per 100 grams? At the moment I use plums as the size fits my calorie allowance, but they are a) rather expensive and b) seasonal. Apples are too big and don't fit my calories. Grapes probably very high calorie. Berries generally expensive, but I need to look into that. So basically I ran out of ideas.

You may need to scroll a bit and browse through the pages, but here are fruits and fruit juices sorted from lowest to highest calories per 100 g

Thanks! Lots of juices and odd stuff, but I think this will work.

I would also look into tinned or frozen fruit if possible. One of the combinations I've found to be nice is tinned apricot (in juice) , vanilla protein powder or maybe vanilla flavoured yogurt ( is that what skyr is?) and oats quite nice. Also chocolate flavours and berries work nicely.1

Hmm.. I prefer fresh fruit. Tinned ones tend to have an odd, unfruity texture, and are far too sweet to be honest (here at least). And my freezer is too small to allow for frozen fruits. Frozen berries are quite lovely and cheap, but they tend to get mushy and are still frozen when I prepare them in the morning and take the to work to be eaten about an hour later. I might give them another try though. Maybe defrost before going to bed?2 -

No link to give you but regarding small fruits I like: I also eat plums, I love apricots, berries of courses but I agree they are expensive, cherry tomatoes (I eat them like regular fruits tbh), I do love grapes and they are not as calorie-dense as you think

I'd say strawberries fit your needs best. Grapes are 67 calories per 100 grams, not astronomically high. You could also buy smaller apples if you have access to them.1

Get frozen fruit, any berry fits your requirement. Place frozen along with the skyr over night and by morning they will be thawed. Simple and you use only as much as you want.
Yes, I need to look into this. I can only get frozen berries, and most of them turn into mousse when defrosting. Plus I have a tiny freezer, thus would need to see whether I have enough space. I just love fresh fruit, you know.0 -
We all do. So my only solution is till berries, any kind and fresh, just stop by on the way home by a store and pick up whats needed daily. Its the European way, its how I was raised.
What? Where do you live? I know no-one who buys fruit on the go because it's ridiculously expensive and takes too much time to stop at the supermarket. Inner city supermarkets here at least don't have parking places anyway. I was raised doing groceries once per week and planning ahead, not wasting money and buying seasonal (out of season is more difficult here anyway). Or eat what's in the garden. That's more European *has lived in5 European countries*0 -

That's actually how we do this too, but we have fruits and vegetables at a walking distance from practically anywhere, and they're everywhere, corner stores, supermarkets, produce stores, even at roadsides in some places. Sometimes trucks drive around announcing they're selling produce. We never really plan food, we just buy the staples and pick up whatever we need on a day to day basis. That's also why we never have meal plans and just cook whatever sounds good that day.3 -
I have a mini freezer for the basement. I tried to buy one from Amazon but they kept arriving severely damaged so went with Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/PREMIUM-3-0-cu-ft-Upright-Freezer-in-White-PFV30500MW/301878755
I do love fresh, seasonal, local fruit, but also keep strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in the freezer. IMO these are fine for yogurt and smoothies.
Cherries have a decent refrigerator life and are in season right now where I am.0 -

Exactly me.
Example, today I decided for dinner I am going to have cod loin with cucumber and tomato salad and fries. Gonna stop by WholeFoods pick up fish and potato. I have the other two.
Ditto - I have a steak for dinner and some shrimp to cook but I need some vegetables to go with it0 -

You seriously dont have the time to make a 5-10minute stop and pick up whatever you need? I am not talking about weekly grocery shopping. I do this all the time. I hardly ever buy any meat for the freezer, much prefer to decide during the day what I want for dinner, stop by my local butcher on the way home (in and out in couple minutes) and be done.
No, because I plan ahead for my cooking and only do groceries once a week at cheap supermarkets. And like I said: none of the supermarkets in town don't have parking at all, and they are very expensive. Look, I live of £1200/month, and half of that is rent pure, no utilities included. I can't afford to buy expensive things and need to plan ahead to prevent overspending. If you can buy four plums for £0.70, then you're not going to spend £1.20 for a single piece of fruit. Every day! Once I start buying small things here and there I lose control of my budget.3 -

Yeah, I'm in Toronto. Walking distance from a lot of food stores. (I admit to shooting for 2 hours of walking daily, so I'll say that I can be to the closest supermarket and back in 15 minutes and 20 for a health-food store with a decent bulk section.) We mostly grocery shop once a week, but if I'm missing something in the middle, I just run out and grab it.0
