Everything we eat has a calorific value, eat enough of anything and you will gain weight. The trick is to control what goes in and balance that off, with what you burn up.
Generally speaking however if your diet is healthy (fresh fruit like grapes are very healthy) and you exercise for 20-30 minutes 3 times a week then you do not have to worry too much about individual foods.Concentrate on the overall diet i.e. what you eat through the course of a week, get a good variety of fresh foods drink water and exercise then things should be just about hunky dory.

Not fattening...it's a very low calorie fruit. Avocado is fattening, but then again...if you consume a ton of grapes...instead of just a cup...then yes....If your total calorie intake is too high...all of the extra calories will turn into fat...most of all if you just sit there.

Point is, anything with calories can be "fattening."
Grapes have no fat in them at all but do have a lot of sugar.
sugar contains empty calories so in moderation they are heart healthy. but minimum consumption if trying to lose weight

No grapes are good for you. If you eat raisins maybe.............you will get fat. The sugar in raisins is much higher than grapes.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON GRAPES
Did you know that more grapes are grown around the world than any other fruit? Grapes are one of oldest known cultivated fruits. Fossil evidence suggests that grapes were grown and harvested in the area now known as Iran as early as 8000 years ago. Concord grapes are one of only three fruits native to North America (the other two are cranberries and wild blueberries.) In the late 18th century Spanish missionaries traveling north from Mexico are thought to have introduced European grapes to California. Today California is a leading producer of both wine and table grapes.
TYPES OF GRAPES
There are thousands of varieties of grapes grown throughout the world, but all these varieties can be classified as either European or American. European grapes have tight skins that adhere to the fruit while the American varieties have loose skin, or slip-skin that easily slips from the fruit when cut or bitten. Grapes can also be classified as seedless or with seeds, or according to use - table grapes for eating or making into raisins, grapes for use in commercial foods (like Concord grape jelly) or grapes for wine or juice. The most popular table grape variety in the U.S. is the Thompson Seedless. Almost any time of year you can find red and green Thompson seedless table grapes in your local supermarket.
HOW DO GRAPES GROW?
Grapes can grown in almost any climate, but the vines thrive in temperate regions with average annual temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The vines are usually developed from cuttings from other vines versus being started from seed. Like most fruits, grapes develop sugar as they ripen, but they do not get riper and sweeter after they are harvested.
WHERE DO GRAPES GROW?
Italy is the number one producer of table grapes, followed by Chile and the United States. Grapes sold in U.S. supermarkets are grown either in the U.S. (most likely in California, which produces 97 percent of the table grapes grown in the U.S.) or in Chile. (Chile extends along the western coast of South America. It is in the Southern Hemisphere, which means its seasons are opposite those in the U.S. When it's winter in the U.S., it's summer in Chile.) U.S. supermarkets get grapes from Chile January through May. Grapes from California are available June through November.
GREAT WAYS TO EAT GRAPES
Did you know that grapes are one of the most popular fruits in the United States? They rank sixth behind bananas, apples, watermelon, oranges and cantaloupe. Most people love grapes 'cause they're so sweet and juicy, and because they're fun to eat! You can pop grapes into your mouth individually, enjoying the crunch and sweetness of each one. Grapes are also great added to fruit salads and chicken salads. The next time you're in the mood for a fun food, grab some grapes!
NUTRIENTS IN GRAPES
Do you include grapes as part of your 5 A Day? One 5 A Day serving of grapes equals ½ cup or about 18 grapes. Grapes are a good source of vitamin C, a nutrient you need to stay strong and healthy. Grapes also contain antioxidants, substances that help keep your body's cells healthy.

both are roughly the same except when it comes to protein. MOST veggies include a reasonable amount of protein; fresh fruit does not.
