Figs - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Figs

• Metabolic Effect: The 2.9g of fiber in a 100g serving keeps your digestion on track while the 232mg of potassium actively fights water retention. This fruit provides a steady stream of energy without the harsh insulin spikes associated with refined sugars.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend pairing 2-3 fresh figs with a handful of walnuts to balance the 19.18g of carbohydrates and slow down sugar absorption. This combination stabilizes insulin levels and keeps your appetite under control for much longer than eating them alone.
• What to Watch For: Since 100g contains 19.18g of carbs, portion control is vital for weight management and blood sugar stability. Keep in mind that with only 0.75g of protein, you should pair it with a protein source like Greek yogurt for a complete snack.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn off the 74 calories, you'll need a brisk 20-minute walk or about 12 minutes of steady swimming. It is a small price to pay for such a nutrient-dense and satisfying natural treat.
