I like my diet colored with all the brightness of a fruit orchard -- do you? The reasons we always hear "eat more fruits and vegetables" is because the amount of vitamins and minerals in those foods are generally plentiful and almost all fruits and vegetables are fat free. It's hard to argue with that!

A tip from eDiets here is to avoid pre-packaged foods that state "fruit flavored." I agree here -- it may seem convenient at first, but going to the produce aisle for fresh fruits and veggies is the best course of action always.

So, what is your favorite low-calorie fruit? Try this list on for size: steamed broccoli, steamed zucchini and yellow squash, fresh-cut pineapple and strawberries and those easy-to-pop grapes.
