Stewed prunes rehydrate to 113 kcal per 100 g. The softest form for easy digestion. Prunes increased stool frequency in a systematic review (Lever et al., Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2014), earning their constipation-relief reputation. Log by weight; a small bowl is still 200+ kcal.
How should I track Prunes, dehydrated (low-moisture), stewed?
Prunes, dehydrated (low-moisture), stewed is high in fiber. Dried fruits like Prunes, dehydrated (low-moisture), stewed are one of the sneakiest calorie sources because they look small but pack serious energy. Removing the water concentrates the calories — a small handful of dried fruit can match a full bowl of fresh fruit calorically. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people underestimate calorie-dense foods by 50–200% when portioning by eye. Weigh on a scale and pre-portion if snacking. Also check whether your variety is sweetened or unsweetened — the sweetened versions add 10–15% more calories from the sugar coating.
