How Pear Fits Into a Diet

Pear is a low-calorie, high-fiber fruit that works well as a snack, yogurt topping, oatmeal add-in, or pre-workout carbohydrate source.

Pair pear with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts, or peanut butter when you want more protein or fat for satiety.

Ripeness and variety change sugar concentration and water weight, but the per-100g values are a solid planning baseline.
