Which one is healthier?

[TheDevilInside]

My employer gave me Fannie May chocolates for Christmas. Its those mint cubes. The taste extremely sweet, which is apparently normal for American chocolates.
Surprisingly, they only have 190 calories for 5 cubes. I usually only eat 2 cubes. That's my serving.

I'm someone who always wants something sweet after each meal.

Question: which is healthier (trying to lose weight), 2 cubes of Fannie May chocolates, or a serving of dried fruits?

nutritionally dried fruit. and i its LITERAlly one official serving then your fine alortcally. but if buy one serving g you mean like however much you ant, then you'll eat wy too much.

anyhow yeah calorie is a calorie as far as losing weight, but the quality of food matters whether you're losing maintaining or gaining. and chocolate has little to offer, other than calories sugar and saturated fat. fruit at least will give you vitamins and minerals. hat will help your body function. esp if you're eating less than usual. you want all calories to count. try to avoid junk food. even 200 calories can pack in a lot of important nutrients. that two squares if fanny will not.

Do dried fruits still have vitamins tho?

[Cmasterson]

Dried fruits have a lot of sugar in them so just see the nutrition label!

[TheDevilInside]

Where I live they're not always available. If they are, I can't read the language

[Cmasterson]

Hmm perhaps estimate the amount and then google it! Thats what I do if I'm not sure ;) So lets say half cup of dried fruits and say what fruits they are x

Good idea. Thanks!

Calories in-calories out is all that losing weight/bulking comes down to. There are small differences in the amount of energy expended to break down different macros, but they're negligible in the context of a 1500-2500 calories diet.

Fruits! of course!

[TheDevilInside]

But dried fruits have tons of sugar

[apple24]

Real fruit?

[TheDevilInside]

[apple24]

But an apple is easy!

[TheDevilInside]

Not my favourite fruit. Its still sour to me.

[TheDevilInside]

The fruits that I like are also not that healthy or are so expensive where I live lol
