Plum Nutrition Facts for a Flexible Fruit Portion

A nutrition reference can be useful without becoming a rigid rule. Plums offer a simple example: a defined edible portion helps explain the food, but it does not determine whether a day has gone well or badly. This card gives a clear serving reference for raw plums. Its purpose is to support an understandable food choice, not to create an all-or-nothing standard. Two reference plums, totaling 132 grams of edible raw fruit, provide approximately 61 calories, 15.0 grams of total carbohydrate, and 1.8 grams of fiber. These values are rounded from the USDA record. Real fruits differ in size, so two plums from your fruit bowl may weigh more or less. The gram amount keeps the example specific even when the household count is only approximate. The source is USDA FoodData Central food 169949, “Plums, raw.” Per 100 grams, it lists 46 calories, 11.4 grams of carbohydrate, and 1.4 grams of dietary fiber. USDA gives one reference fruit an edible weight of 66 grams. Two such fruits total 132 grams, and multiplying by 1.32 gives the card's portion.

Reset a scale with the empty plate in place before adding the halves or slices. The count of pieces changes when fruit is cut, but the edible weight does not increase. Use the measurement as information rather than as a demand to make every snack identical. A plain plum portion can be enjoyed alone or alongside another food. If you are calculating the full snack, include those other ingredients separately. The fruit's values do not cover yogurt, nuts, sweeteners, or a baked topping. A simple ingredient reference stays useful when it remains attached to the food it actually describes, rather than being stretched into a total for a more complex dish. Choose a different entry for dried plums, preserves, juice, or other prepared products. Changes in food form and added ingredients can make those products different from this raw-fruit reference. Check a product label when it better matches the food you are eating, and compare serving weights before interpreting differences in the numbers. Save this card for a flexible, practical reminder: clear information can guide a choice without turning food into a score. The serving is not a required amount, a measure of motivation, or a promise about weight loss. The related wellness supplement is a separate catalog recommendation and is not a plum ingredient or a source of the nutrition shown here. #WeightLossMotivation #Plums #NutritionFacts #FlexibleHabits #PortionControl
