There are roughly 60 calories in a one cup serving of Grapes. There are 15 grams of sugar, which is interesting as there is roughly the same amount of sugar in a can of coke.

We say this because most people in the US, especially those people who are overweight, eat a diet very high in sugar. Ever since the recent change that Weight Watchers made about allowing unlimited, or at least high amounts of fruit with no need to count points, there has been a big debate about how healthy the sugar content of fruit is.

Grapes have a smattering of vitamins and minerals. Red grapes in particular are high in polyphenols which have been shown to be powerful antioxidants.

How Grapes Can Help You Lose Weight- A Tip!

Take a bunch of grapes and freeze them. For those of you struggling with night eating or emotional eating, anytime a craving hits, go to the freezer and pull out a grape. It will have a little sugar which will help your sweet tooth. It will have very few calories, and it will take you some time to melt the frozen grape in your mouth.

For added flavor, and no added calories, sprinkle some freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice onto the grapes. You'll enjoy a "sweet and sour" treat!

If you are struggling with your calories, odds are that you are dealing with some sort of night eating challenge.
