Food Safety | @If you eat avocado to lose weight, do you know these high-calorie fruits?

Summer is a good season for losing weight. Some people think that fruits are sweet and sour and rich in various vitamins needed by the body, so they are used as meal replacements. However, they do not know that some fruits not only have no protein but may also be very high in calories, which will make you fatter. So what are the fruits with the highest calories? Let's talk about them today.

No. 1: Avocado

Avocado has the highest fat content among all fruits, about 15%. 100 grams of avocado contains 160 kcal, which is roughly equivalent to the calories of two small eggs. Therefore, the fat content of avocado is still relatively high, and it is not recommended to eat too much. About half to one avocado per person per day is enough.

No. 2: Durian

Durian is known as the "king of fruits" because it is rich in dietary fiber, protein, potassium, and B vitamins. On the other hand, it is high in calories, with 100 grams of durian containing about 147 calories. In addition, the sugar content of durian is as high as 48.3%, which is basically half sugar.

No. 3: Jackfruit

The calories of 100 grams of jackfruit are 105 kcal, which is equivalent to the calories of a bowl of rice. At the same time, it contains a lot of glucose, fructose, and sucrose. It is a high-sugar fruit with a sugar content of about 25.7%. Eating too much jackfruit will cause the excess sugar to be unable to be consumed, which will turn into calories accumulated in the body and cause obesity.

No. 4: Banana

Bananas are rich in fiber and pectin, which can help increase satiety. They are rich in potassium, which helps eliminate edema, but they are very high in calories, with 100 grams of bananas containing about 100 kcal. At the same time, they contain both sugar and starch, with a carbohydrate content of 22%. Eating bananas frequently is likely to make you fatter and fatter.

Secondly, fruits such as fresh dates, grapes, longans, and lychees are also high in calories. For example, 100 grams of lychees have 71 kcal, and the calories of longans and lychees are similar.

Is coconut high in calories?

Coconut is a special fruit. The calories in coconut juice are not high, with only 18 kcal per 100 grams and 4.24 grams of carbohydrates. However, the calories in coconut meat are very high because the fat content of coconut meat is particularly high. The fat content of 100 grams of coconut meat is 33.5%, the calories are 354 kcal, and the carbohydrate content is about 15 grams. Nowadays, many people use coconut oil for cooking, so the calories in coconut meat must be high. Therefore, friends who like to eat these high-calorie fruits must pay attention to reasonable consumption and stop when they are full.
