Do you eat tinned fruit daily and are you healthy?

[Belledan1]

Bit boring but with lockdown and shopping, its good to keep tinned supplies in. I have started to eat more frozen berries and mango since i got a bigger freezer and love it. Friend is organising Christmas food hampers and my part was to get loads of tins of fruit. Was amazed at the varieties. I have bought pineapple in the past but don't tend to go to that section of the supermarket. I know Slimming World you are not allowed it. Well I got 2 tins of pears for myself (in juice of course) - they were so nice. I love pears but fresh ones are either really hard or suddenly go really mushy. Was wondering if this was a good option, the calories do not look that high really and nice and easy to prepare. Was thinking trying the peaches and apples next. Family bit fussy re fruit but do eat bananas and oranges so would carry on getting them. What do you have if you have it and does it help with weight loss/sustaining weight?

When I was growing up in the 50s, we had tinned fruit with custard for pudding most days. Fresh fruit only in season. Very few people had deepfreezes (there were still lots of people without fridges) so frozen fruit just wasn't an option. Children in the 50s weren't known for high levels of obesity.

Whether it's the right choice for OP rather depends on what it's being substituted for. In stead of a piece of cake, definitely OK. As and addition, probably not.

HI all.

Yes it would be instead of chocolate etc. I am calorie counting. I do understand what you say about the skin and in the summer I would buy fresh peaches as they are always quite cheap then. I remembered I lost a lot of weight eating tinned pineapple with my ham and egg salad. That was so nice. I noticed on the tins i got for the food bank thing a lot was in syrup as they were cheaper, i wanted to get more for my money.

As someone said sometimes its trial and error with fruit ie its either really hard then suddenly goes soft.
