The 10 most caloric fruits
Nuts: 600 calories per 100 g
These fruits are rich in lipids and proteins. This explains their high energy intake.
However, nuts have loads of good, health-promoting nutrients (vitamin E, iron, calcium, and fiber), so you can get them in small amounts.
Opt for plain and raw nuts. Avoid those that are salty, sweet or grilled. Pecans are number one with 700 calories per 100g.
If you must choose them bet on almonds which are rich in healthy fats, contain a lot of magnesium of vitamins including vitamin B2 and E. 10 almonds equals 110 calories.
2. Coconut: 360 calories per 100 g

3. Dried fruits: 300 calories per 100 g
Dried fruits are prunes, bananas, apricots, dates or figs. As they dry out, they lose their vitamin C, but retain their other nutrients and minerals. They are rich in fiber and help with intestinal transit. So if you have constipation problems, try prunes which are ideal for restoring these ailments.
4. Dates: 300 calories per 100 g
They are very sweet and high in calories, so it is a fruit to limit but ideal for athletes who need a real caloric intake.
