like many people, i can go through an entire bag of grapes in one sitting. Ive looked up the calorie content in them and ive got some really confusing numbers - 62 calories for one cup (92g), but when i weighed out a cup mine came to like over 150g!
anyone know the content of red/green seedless grapes?
(yes ive been a little bored today lol...)
Maybe because your grapes were smaller than a normal grape size, leading to less air pocket space in a cup, and therefore more weight? I'd just go with what you weighed out yourself in logging the calories than the cup. Sometimes measuring with utensils can't be that accurate because of compactness of certain foods (like flour), and in instances like that, counting calories should be based on how much they weigh out on the scale.

This is why you always go by WEIGHT of solid foods, not volume.
It is 62 cals for 92 grams. 150 grams would be much more.
haha this doesnt really help too much but i am most deffinitly one of the people who goes through entire bags in one sitting. i looove grapes and even tho im trying to gain a good amount of weight, they havent put a single pound on me. and that means that eating copious amounts of grapes is not something you have to worry about. they dont have any fat and are mostly water. I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)
My husband and I were having a similar problem with pasta this past week. We were measuring how much we could have by doing a rough conversion from grams to cups and it didn't work out at all.
In the end we went out and invested 30 bucks in a digital scale. Turns out we were eating a lot less then we originally thought. My advice is to buy a scale and find out for sure. If I had grapes I'd weight them for you now, but unfortunately I don't.
Good luck!
How often should you eat during the day?
It is neither necessary to eat every two hours nor to stop eating at 6:00 PM. As long as your calorie intake is less than your output... Read more
