How many calories are in 1 dried anjeer, and is it suitable for weight loss? - #10571

Anonymously

I’ve been snacking on dried figs (anjeer) lately because they’re delicious and seem healthy, but I’m unsure about their calorie count. How many calories are in 1 dried anjeer, and is it suitable for someone trying to lose weight? From what I’ve read, dried anjeer is rich in dietary fiber and natural sugars, making it a great energy-boosting snack. However, I’m worried about whether its calorie content might interfere with my weight loss goals. Does the high fiber content outweigh the sugar, making it a better option than other dried fruits like dates or raisins? I’m also curious about portion control. How many dried figs can be eaten in a day without consuming too many calories? Is it better to eat them plain, soaked overnight, or added to recipes like smoothies or salads? If anyone includes dried anjeer in their diet, I’d love to know your experience. Did it help with digestion, energy, or weight management? Are there specific ways to eat them that maximize their health benefits?

Anjeer (figs) is a highly nutritious fruit, rich in fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, and antioxidants, offering several health benefits. Its high fiber content aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps relieve constipation by acting as a natural laxative. Consuming 1-2 figs per day is generally recommended for bowel regularity without causing dependency. Anjeer is also beneficial for bone health due to its calcium and iron content, supports heart health by helping regulate blood pressure, and boosts energy levels, making it a great option for those experiencing fatigue. For weight management, anjeer is a good choice because it’s low in calories yet filling, making it a satisfying snack. Soaked dried figs may offer better digestion and nutrient absorption, but both fresh and dried figs have their benefits. Regular consumption can improve overall health, but it’s important to keep portion sizes moderate due to its natural sugar content. If you’re on a calorie-controlled diet, it’s best to enjoy anjeer in moderation.
