High in fiber

Berries are an excellent source of soluble fiber. According to studies, eating soluble fiber causes your food to travel more slowly through your digestive system, which decreases the hunger and increases feelings of fullness. This could lower your caloric intake and facilitate weight loss.

Additionally, fiber lessens the number of calories that you absorb from mixed meals. According to one study, you might absorb up to 130 fewer calories per day by doubling your fiber intake. Berries are also low in digestible or net carbohydrates, which are determined by deducting fiber from total carbs, due to their high fiber content. Here are the carb and fiber counts for 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of berries:

• Raspberries: 11.9 grams of carbs, 6.5 of which are fiber
• Blackberries: 10.2 grams of carbs, 5.3 of which are fiber
• Strawberries: 7.7 grams of carbs, 2.0 of which are fiber
• Blueberries: 14.5 grams of carbs, 2.4 of which are fiber
