Sorry I’ve been away for a quite a while, life got pretty busy (and I been pretty lazy in blogging)! I am pretty on the ball with instagram (@sabgetsfit) though, so do follow me there to see my diet, fitness progress, and also to get some quick recipes.

So, anyhow, I’ve recently compiled a list of fruits found in Singapore and their nutritional information (not including the micronutrients and phyto-nutrients yet, I’m sorry!). My main motivation for coming up with this list was that when I first began dieting, I began to forgo a lot of foods because I just found it plain difficult to include in my diet and one of these categories were fruits. But that was a huge mistake! Fruits, like any whole food, are more than just its calories, or carbs… It contains tons of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and phytonutrients (antioxidents) which are important for firstly, a long healthy life, and secondly a glowing and beautiful body. Just being striated (or skinny, if you lean towards that…) just doesn’t cut it. Can you imagine a VS angel who doesn’t have beautiful glowing skin, or luscious beautiful locks? Vitamins and minerals give you that! I believe that in any diet in the long-run… it would be really good to include fresh fruits into the diet whenever possible. So, I created an entire list of fruits and their nutritional information so you won’t avoid them just because you don’t know it’s profile!

I was pretty concerned with the carb content of the fruits and how to fit as many as I can into my diet, hence the way this nutrition list is categorised. I find that in low-carb diets, people tend to forgo fruits, or adhere to the western lists (Atkins or Dukan diets) which may be somewhat limited. I thought that by compiling this,it would be useful for Singaporeans, or even any South-East Asians who want to make the most of the awesome array of fruits we have in Singapore.

I included as many fruits as I could think of, and listed the fruits starting from lowest to highest in terms of their carb content per 100grams, followed by any other nutritional information I can get per fruit. Per fruit is the amount I (or Google) guess that you may serve the fruit. I hope you find this useful! Do let me know if I can add any fruits to the list, or if I can improve this list in anyway.
