Just make sure you measure them and count them in your macros..if they fit in, then go for it!!

How about people in the stage between beginner and intermediate, who are trying to gain muscle? Are raisins good for them or not and when to eat them? Before or after workout? Moderation is key, that I got. I normally have a bit of raisins/or 1 banana 1h before workout and I'd also have a bit of raisins 20-30 min after workout, cos the main meal for me after workout would normally come 1 or 1.5h after the workout ended. When I say 'a bit of raisins' I mean like a handful or two.

No one food is "bad" or "good" in any instance. Personally, I just had 40g of raisins yesterday because I was competing and they fit numerous needs: did not take up a lot of room in my digestive tract, are loaded with electrolytes (I eat a lot of grapes when I'm scuba diving for the same reasons) and had enough sugar to give me energy through the day (and keep my muscles full). BUT "a handful or two" isn't moderation. In Weight Watchers they teach you 1 handful is roughly 1/4 cup, which is roughly the 40g serving I had yesterday for 130 calories.
In short, if you want it, work it in. Just like I work my Pop Tarts in."Never avoid opportunities. They may come in any form." - Carl Allen, Yes Man
