Berries are great if you want to lose weight
Berries are a great choice if you want to lose weight as they're all really low in calories. This is good news as the only way to shift those excess pounds is to create a calorie deficit over time so that your body has to use its fat stores to provide it with energy.
Most of us know that fruit is generally a good choice if we want to shape up. But it's less well known that berries tend to be even lower in calories than many other fruits.
For example, an 80g serving of raspberries or blackberries contains just 20 calories, while the same sized serving of strawberries contains 22 calories, and blueberries, 24 calories.
In contrast, an apple contains around 50 calories, an orange around 60 calories and a small banana around 75 calories.
