]]> Although anything that comes from the ground has many health benefits, that doesn’t mean it won’t have any calories. Getting your calories from fruit and vegetables is an important way to be healthy, but if you’re trying to cut down calories, think about reducing your intake of these fruits a bit.

Bananas

Bananas are full of vitamin B6, potassium and more — which makes eating them all the better. However, a medium-sized banana will have about 100 calories, which is quite high for a fruit. If you don’t want to eliminate bananas completely, think about eating only half at a time.

Blueberries

Surprisingly, blueberries are also quite high in calories. They hold tons of anti-oxidants and are said to help so many body parts function better, including your brain, heart, and eyes. However, they are also the berry with the highest amount of calories, with about 85 per cup.

Mango

Mangos are such a sweet treat to have on their own, with a little chili powder, or in a smooth. But, they are also very high in sugar and in calories, with 1 cup holding about 100 calories. One cup of mango will also give you 100% of your daily vitamin C requirement, so eat accordingly if you’re cutting out mango even a little.

Long Island Iced Tea

There are about three shots of alcohol in this drink, which is bad enough, but then sour mix and Coca-Cola is added in too. With all that in mind, there is no use having a drink that is as calorie heavy as a meal.

White Russian

The Big Lebowski was called ‘big’ for a reason. Oftentimes bars will make this drink with heavy cream or at least whole milk, which is really fattening and calorie dense.

Cosmopolitan

A cosmo is actually one of the drinks that is lower in calories! Because it uses only lime juice and some cranberry juice, chances are the calories will stay fairly low across the board.

Mojito

Mojitos are also low in calories because they use fresh lime juice and club soda, which have no calories. Although they can be a bit sugary, calorically you are still in the clear.
