Personally, I like sour strawberries.

Check out fitday.com, they most certainly have exactly the information that you're looking for.

Good luck!

strawberry's are low GI/GR and are good to eat anytime, cutting bulking etc..

1/2 cup is around 20 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fiber

It didn't work....

however, according to the USDA, 1 cup of RAW/sliced strawberries has:

Protein: 1 gram

fat: 0.6 gram

Carbs: 11.65 grams

fiber: 3.8 grams (didn't give the difference between soluble/insoluble)

It's also high in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, Vit C, Folate, Vit A, & Phytosterols.

HMMM...wonder why the difference between fitday and USDA? Is Fitday's sweetened?

there are differences between the nulerous varieties:

some strawberries are grown artificially (with artificial light) and are mostly water
=> few calories

some others (here we call them "savage", I don't know if it's the right word) have much more sugar and less water
=> more calories (and taste)

this is an excellent type of fruit for dieting..as stated before very low gi and high fibre
