Dried fruit?

I am a compulsive nibbler and love to eat. To keep my weight in check, I've been eating a lot of dried fruit and I mean a LOT. I eat the stuff that comes in bulk from Wegmans called the Fat Free Fruit Delight. It's got dried apricots, apples, papaya pineapple and cranberries. i also add about a scoop and a half of dried, unsweetened banana chips. I'd say I eat about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of this stuff a day. How calorific is this snack? How many calories in dried fruit in general? Am I actually ruining my diet with this dried fruit snacking?

Reply:actually, yeah you're definitely ruining your diet.


dried fruits has a TON of calories. it's basically your normal fruit dried up into very small pieces. less is more calories.





if you really want to nibble %26amp; really want something sweet, then chew on sugar-free gum. that's what i do. my personal favorite: trident. it has lots of fruity flavors and minty flavors, it's sugar free, only 3.5 calories per stick (%26amp; i chew half a stick at a time), %26amp; lasts FOREVER! you can buy them in bulk packs at Sam's Club for a lot cheaper price than if you buy them seperately. %26amp; you'll have a never ending supply if you do that too!
