Training & Nutrition - Nutrition question, take 2

Looks like my thread (which had at least one reply I didn't get to see) got lost in the crash, so I'll post again and if you could reply again I would appreciate it.

Grape tomatoes. Where can I find nutritional info on them?

Thanks!

They will be close to what you'd see from other tomatoes, prob a little sweeter. Hard to imagine someone blowing their diet with grape tomatoes

I seem to remember that no one had any answer for you-

From what I read, the grape tomatoes are a hybrid plant, and they seem to be a new food out there, so I don't think the nutritional values have come out for it yet. I would go by what the nutritional values are for plum tomatoes, since they seem to be similiar enough, but I'll defer to someone else, as I really don't have a real answer for you.

:( Sorry....

What I found (and this is not direct experience as this is the first I had heard of them) they are a hybrid with at least several variations and the web site with the most information stated they couldn't find detailed nutitional information and neither could I .What I did find is they have twice the sugar of regular tomatoes are high in lycoprene and potassium and apparrently have a low water content compared to other varieties of tomatoes as they aren't squirty .One source said a medium tomato or a half cup of cherry or grape tomatoes all have 33 calories but that sounds like an estimate to me(on the grape at least).A regular tomato is approx. 5% carbs(I'm assuming mostly sugar )and close to 95% water.Now I don't know if the twice the sugar comparison was relative to weight ,calories or other measure and I don't know exactly how much water grape tomatos have but they should be alright given the high nutritive value particularly if eaten in a salad or with other foods or even a snack unless you start going overboard on them.
