Fruits are rich in carbohydrates, viramins, minerals, and dietary fibers. Because of the presence of these nutrients, and the requirement of requiring more calories for ingestion than their actual calorie content, fruits are treated as negative calorie foods. The calorie counter given below gives the values of calories, total fat, saturated fat (SF), monounsaturated (MU) fat, and poly-unsaturated (PUS) fat contents of some fruits and fruit juices.
