Olives OK to eat?

[esskay77 785]

Such a naive question even though I am 2 years out. Are olives OK to eat for RNY people? What are they considered? Veggie? fruit? Carb?

I have discovered jalapeno stuffed olives and I have been eating them but then wasn't sure if it was ok.

Thoughts?

TIA

I was sleeved so don't know about RNY people, but I eat olives all the time. I count them in MyFitnessPal (sodium is high) but generally think of them as a fat.

I eat them. Botanically speaking, they are a fruit - although I would imagine most people would consider them a vegetable. They would have carbs - and fat.

I love olives!! Healthy fat, intense flavor, lots of varieties. They are very satisfying.

Thanks!! Phew! I'll just try not to eat so many of them--lol.

They're fine as long as they weren't just plucked from the tree. You wouldn't like an olive right from the tree.

Exercise moderation due to the sodium content.

I am an olive addict. I will need to be careful.

I eat olives of every variety all the time. I just track them and beware they have a lot of salt.

I especially love black olives and put them on salads. Yum!

Watch out or the olives will get you. Beware especially of the leetle, insouciant niçoise types with their leetle berets so captivatingly appealing.
