What is a chart of fruit and vegetable calories?

A chart can show the number of calories that specific types of fruits or vegetables typically contain. These types of charts are available on nutritional and educational websites. They can be useful to nutritionists, meal planners, restaurants, students and families.

Understanding proper nutrition can be useful for a healthy and balanced diet. The number of calories that someone consumes affects how much energy he has throughout the day. If someone consumes more calories than he burns in exercise, those excess calories might cause health issues. A calorie chart can help someone learn ways to add variety to a diet and stay within recommended calorie intake.
