The Lowest-Hanging Fruits

Unsweetened frozen fruit and water-packed canned fruit are worthy stand-ins for fresh produce. But if you're watching your waistline, avoid eating dried fruit. The concentrated sugars up the calorie count. Plus, "the fruit is less filling, making it tempting to overeat," says Ashley Koff, R.D.

Bananas: Ones with a hint of green are lowest in calories.

Grapefruit: Its high water content fills you up, not out.

Raspberries: Get belly-flattening fiber in a sweet package.
