There is more to fruits than just their calories. For example, while a banana might contain more calories than an apple, it also provides you with different amounts of vitamins and minerals. And while avocados are high in calories, they are one of the foods that help you lose weight.

So while it is good to be aware of how many calories are contained in certain fruits, the amount of calories in food is only one of the 3 levels of diet and nutrition, so don’t go overboard with it.
