I use sedentary plus exercise. That is the one place I miss a fitness watch. I have a lot of uncounted steps on days I am more active but not enough to monitor as a walk with mmw. I carry my phone pretty much all the time. I could try a step tracker on it. I play with the numbers a lot without depending much on calculations. I have suffered some Adaptive Thermogenesis so I burn less than most calculators compute. They come up with around 1900 for sedentary and 1700 seems more accurate. I have been using 1600 as I have been more active largely because I think the computed exercise amounts are off. Also I am good with creeping down a few more pounds into the low 150s.
Raisins are probably the most calorie dense fruits. As far as "wet" fruits go, pineapple and mango can add up fairly quickly. The thing about fruit is that I could eat some every few minutes all day long. If you aren't a purist, sweetened applesauce has a fair amount. Preserves instead of fresh fruit in your yogurt gives you many more calories. Canned fruit in heavy syrup has a lot more calories than fresh. But I do it with fresh fruits in bulk. A whole pineapple lasts me maybe two days. Sometimes I eat 3 or 4 peaches at a time. I eat whole mangoes. I can polish of a pound of melon pieces at one sitting. Fruit is mostly water with some fiber and sugar. So if I stuff myself with fruit I don' stay full long. Yesterday I had 8 servings of fruit; today I have had 6 and will probably have some grapes before bed.
