Absolutely. Eggplants have very little sugar but are savory enough to use as a substitute for cheese, meat, and more, depending on the recipe. Their flesh, and their skin even more so, is loaded with fiber, which can help you feel full. Looking past weight loss, eggplants are very healthy in general, particularly their skin, which contains cancer-fighting antioxidants called anthocyanins. Plus, with a smaller eggplant variety like Italian, you're getting a bit more of that nutritious skin per pound.
