How many calories are in Fig Newtons?

Fig bars are 348 calories per 100g, and one 16g cookie is 56 calories. The two-cookie serving on the pack comes to 111. That is lighter than most cookies: Oreos are 464 calories per 100g.

Are Fig Newtons healthy?

Healthier than most cookies, which is not the same as healthy. The fig paste brings 4.6g of fiber per 100g and 2.9mg of iron per 100g, both real. Against that sit 46.4g of sugar per 100g, nearly half the weight of the bar, and 350mg of sodium per 100g, which is a lot for something sweet.

Fig Newtons vs Oreos: which is the better cookie?

Fig bars take it on most counts. They are 348 calories per 100g against Oreos' 464. Fat is far lower, 7.3g of fat per 100g against Oreos' 19.1g. Fiber runs higher too, 4.6g of fiber per 100g against Oreos' 2.9g. Sugar is the one place they are close, 46.4g of sugar per 100g against Oreos' 40.7g.

Are Fig Newtons vegan or gluten free?

Not gluten free: the dough is enriched wheat flour, and there is no version of the classic bar without it. Vegan is murkier, because recipes differ on whey, so treat them as vegetarian instead. What the data does say is that the fiber, 4.6g per 100g, comes from the figs rather than the pastry.

Do Fig Newtons contain real figs?

Yes, fig paste is the filling, and it is where the 4.6g of fiber per 100g and 207mg of potassium per 100g come from. Fresh figs are a different food at 74 calories per 100g; drying them and baking them into a bar pushes the sweetness to 46.4g of sugar per 100g.

Are Fig Newtons good for weight loss?

They portion themselves better than most sweets, which is half the battle: 56 calories a bar, 111 for the two-cookie serving, and the wrapper counts for you. At 348 calories per 100g they are still a cookie, though 4.6g of fiber per 100g makes them sit heavier than a shortbread.

Are Fig Newtons a good pre-run snack?

They work well. There is 70.9g of carbs per 100g with only 7.3g of fat per 100g, so they clear the stomach faster than a chocolate bar does. Two cookies at 111 calories about 45 minutes before a run is a common setup.

How long do Fig Newtons last?

Sealed, months, and the printed date is about texture rather than safety. Once open they go hard instead of stale, so an airtight tin matters more than the fridge, which dries them out faster. An ounce is 28g and 99 calories if you are portioning out of a big box.
