Is pineapple good for meal planning?
Fresh pineapple is low-calorie and high in vitamin C. Canned pineapple in syrup is much higher — choose 'in juice' or 'no added sugar' to keep the calories closer to fresh.
It is sweet enough to feel like a dessert, which makes it a useful swap when you want something indulgent in a deficit.
