The Best Fruit to Reach For on a Low-Carb Diet

Ditching bagels and pasta on your low-carb diet is a pretty good idea since they're made with refined flour, but forgoing all fruits? Not only will you miss out on the healthy nutrients and filling fiber that can help you consume fewer calories, but you'll feel completely sad. You don't have to live without that naturally sweet juiciness! Here's a list of low-carb fruits, all with 15 grams of carbs or less.

Fruit Amount Calories Carbs (g)
Blackberries 1 cup 62 14.7
Cantaloupe 1 cup 53 13.7
Clementine 1 fruit 35 8.9
Grapefruit, pink or white 1 medium 41 10.3
Kiwi 1 fruit 42 10.1
Nectarine 1 medium 62 15
Orange 1 medium 62 15.4
Papaya 1 cup 55 13.7
Peach 1 medium 59 14.8
Plum 1 fruit 30 7.5
Raspberries 1 cup 64 14.7
Strawberries 1 cup 49 11.7
Tangerine 1 medium 47 11.7
Watermelon 1 cup 46 11.5

If there's a fruit you crave that's not on this list, just be mindful of the serving size. For example: half a banana has 13.5 grams of carbs, half a cup of blueberries has 10.7 grams of carbs, and half an apple has 12.4 grams of carbs.
