Calories in Fruit: A Full List by Portion

The short answer

Most whole fruits land between 40 and 105 calories for a typical portion: a medium apple is 95, a medium banana 105, an orange 62 and a cup of strawberries 46. The exceptions are fruits with fat, like avocado (322 calories for a whole one) and coconut, and dried fruit, which packs the same sugar into a much smaller weight.

Every number on this page is from the USDA’s FoodData Central, SR Legacy dataset, the same data behind our food calorie lookup. USDA stores values per 100 grams and lists household portions with their weights, so a portion’s calories are simply calories per 100 g × grams ÷ 100.

Everyday fruit

Fruit Portion Weight Calories Fiber
Apple 1 medium (3” across), with skin 182 g 95 4.4 g
Banana 1 medium (7” to 7⅞” long) 118 g 105 3.1 g
Orange 1 fruit (2⅝” across) 131 g 62 3.1 g
Pear 1 medium 178 g 101 5.5 g
Peach 1 medium (2⅔” across) 150 g 59 2.3 g
Nectarine 1 medium (2½” across) 142 g 62 2.4 g
Plum 1 fruit (2⅛” across) 66 g 30 0.9 g
Apricot 1 apricot 35 g 17 0.7 g
Kiwi 1 fruit (2” across) 69 g 42 2.1 g
Grapes 1 cup 151 g 104 1.4 g

Figs 1 medium (2¼” across) 50 g 37 1.5 g
Applesauce, unsweetened 1 cup 244 g 102 2.7 g

Berries

Fruit Portion Weight Calories Fiber
Strawberries 1 cup, whole 144 g 46 2.9 g
Raspberries 1 cup 123 g 64 8.0 g
Blackberries 1 cup 144 g 62 7.6 g
Blueberries 1 cup 148 g 84 3.6 g

Citrus

Fruit Portion Weight Calories Fiber
Tangerine 1 medium (2½” across) 88 g 47 1.6 g
Clementine 1 fruit 74 g 35 1.3 g
Grapefruit, pink or red ½ fruit (3¾” across) 123 g 52 2.0 g
Lemon, without peel 1 fruit (2⅛” across) 58 g 17 1.6 g
Lime 1 fruit (2” across) 67 g 20 1.9 g

Melons and tropical fruit

Fruit Portion Weight Calories Fiber
Watermelon 1 cup, diced 152 g 46 0.6 g
Cantaloupe 1 cup, cubes 160 g 54 1.4 g
Pineapple 1 cup, chunks 165 g 83 2.3 g
Mango 1 cup, pieces 165 g 99 2.6 g
Papaya 1 cup, 1” pieces 145 g 62 2.5 g
Pomegranate 1 whole (4” across) 282 g 234 11.3 g

Higher-fat fruit

Fruit Portion Weight Calories Fat
Avocado 1 avocado 201 g 322 29.5 g
Coconut meat, raw 1 cup, shredded 80 g 283 26.8 g
Olives, ripe, canned 1 large 4.4 g 5 0.5 g

Avocado and coconut get most of their calories from fat rather than sugar, which is why they sit apart from the rest of the list. Half an avocado is about 161 calories.

Dried fruit and juice

Item Portion Weight Calories Fiber
Raisins, dark, seedless 1 small box (1.5 oz) 43 g 129 1.9 g
Dates, medjool 1 date, pitted 24 g 66 1.6 g
Prunes 1 prune, pitted 9.5 g 23 0.7 g
Dried cranberries, sweetened ¼ cup 40 g 123 2.1 g
Orange juice 1 cup 248 g 112 0.5 g
Apple juice, unsweetened 1 cup 248 g 114 0.5 g

Fresh, dried or juiced: the same fruit three ways

Drying takes out water, not calories, so the calories per gram climb. Grapes have 69 calories per 100 g; dark raisins have 299. A cup of grapes (151 g, 104 calories) weighs three and a half times as much as a small box of raisins (43 g, 129 calories), yet the raisins have more calories.

Juice works the other way. It keeps the sugar but loses most of the fiber:

Compare Calories Fiber
1 medium apple (182 g) 95 4.4 g
1 cup apple juice, unsweetened (248 g) 114 0.5 g
1 orange (131 g) 62 3.1 g
1 cup orange juice (248 g) 112 0.5 g

The FDA’s Daily Value for fiber is 28 g a day. A cup of raspberries, at 8.0 g, covers 29% of it. A cup of apple juice covers under 2%.

Lowest and highest calories per 100 g

Portions differ in size, so comparing per 100 g shows how “dense” each fruit is:

  • Lowest: lemon (29), watermelon (30), lime (30), strawberries (32), cantaloupe (34).
  • Middle: apple (52), raspberries (52), blueberries (57), mango (60), banana (89).
  • Highest: avocado (160), dates (277), raisins (299), dried cranberries (308), coconut meat (354).

Worked example: your banana is not “medium”

USDA’s medium banana weighs 118 g. Say yours weighs 140 g on a kitchen scale, peeled.

  • Raw banana is 89 calories per 100 g.
  • 89 × 140 ÷ 100 = 125 calories, not 105.

A fruit salad works the same way. One cup each of strawberries (46), pineapple (83) and blueberries (84), plus a medium kiwi (42), adds up to 46 + 83 + 84 + 42 = 255 calories and 2.9 + 2.3 + 3.6 + 2.1 = 10.9 g of fiber.

The food calorie lookup does this for you: pick a food, enter grams, ounces or a USDA portion, and add several foods to a plate for a running total.

Why your label or app may differ

  • Size. A “medium” fruit in your store may be bigger or smaller than USDA’s. Weighing is the only way to be exact.
  • Variety. USDA’s grape entry is red or green European-type grapes; its grapefruit entry is pink and red. Other varieties differ a little.
  • Packaged fruit. Canned fruit in syrup, sweetened dried fruit and juice drinks can carry added sugar. The Nutrition Facts label on the package is the better number for that product.
  • Averages. USDA values are averages across samples, so any single piece of fruit can sit a little above or below them.

How these numbers were worked out

Each value is USDA’s figure per 100 g, scaled to the portion weight USDA lists, and rounded to the nearest calorie and the nearest 0.1 g of fiber. For example, a medium apple is 52 calories per 100 g × 182 g ÷ 100 = 94.6, shown as 95. USDA FoodData Central data is public domain under CC0 1.0, and USDA asks users to credit it (FoodData Central licensing).

Each linked fruit has its own page with every USDA portion, the protein, carbs and fat, and a comparison with similar foods.

Values were taken from USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy (April 2018) in October 2026.
