#1 â Strawberries
A cup of strawberries only has 50 calories and 7 grams of sugar, yet provides 3 grams of fiber. they also satisfy our sweet/sugar cravings as well, and they boast a very impressive nutrient profile. An apple is only 100 calories, is easy to carry around, and makes a great pre-workout snack. After that is grapefruit because it has been shown to help control blood sugar, it really helps fill you up, and I love the taste.
#2 â Berries

Berries such as blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries are packed full of nutrients and are lower in sugar than other types of fruit such as mangos or bananas. Thatâs why berries are often lauded as great fat-burning foods. However, fruit in general can help people achieve their fat loss goals. Fruits are nutrient-dense and low calorie, and they help keep a sweet-tooth under control. The fiber in fruit helps with satiety and also slows down the digestion and absorption of fructose, the fruit sugar. With all the vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants they provide, fruit is a great food to incorporate into your diet.

#3-avocados
One fruit that may help with fat-loss are avocados. Most people who follow a restricted carbohydrate diet fail to increase their fat content high enough to keep their bodies and metabolisms operating optimally. Per fruit, avocados have about 20 grams of healthy fats which over the course of a day is relatively low. Higher fat may not only increase metabolism but also increase testosterone levels which is one of the main hormones responsible in fat loss for both men AND women.

#4â Grapefruit
The best fruits to eat for fat loss are the ones that will allow you to eat fewer calories than you burn. For example, although a banana is higher in sugar and calories than a handful of grapes, if eating a banana will make it less likely that you will raid the vending machine in search of a Snickerâs bar, it is a better choice. Lifestyle issues aside, my pick for best fat-burning food is grapefruit. Grapefruitâs high water content helps increase feelings of fullness while providing very few calories. In fact, it takes more energy to digest grapefruit than it contains in calories. While this does not mean someone can eat grapefruit along with anything else he or she pleases and lose weight, adding it to a well-balanced nutrition plan will certainly aid in fat loss.
#5-kiwi
kiwis are low in calories â one fairly large kiwi weighing 76g contains a mere 46 calories! Now you may find this to be too small of a number â you probably won't feel like you've eaten anything⊠but no! Kiwis, on the other hand, contain lots of fibers which are extremely nutritious and help suppress your appetite. So by eating only 46 calories, you will feel full and not in need of consuming anything else for a long time!
