As your quest for healthier eating continues, here is some useful information from Better Homes and Gardens as it relates to fruit. Use it as a guide when selecting your snacks. Note that some of their serving sizes are half (such as half a pear), so if you eat the whole thing, keep the calorie counts in mind.
