What changes the calories
- Size matters most: a small orange (96 g) has about 45 calories, while a large one (184 g) has about 86.
- Weighing an orange with the peel overstates the edible portion, since the peel is usually discarded and the calorie figures refer to the fruit you eat.
- Juicing removes most of the fiber and makes it easy to consume several oranges' worth in one glass, so juice portions can add up faster than whole fruit.
- Canned mandarin oranges or orange segments packed in syrup carry extra calories from the added sugar.
Tips for logging it accurately
- For the most accurate log, peel the orange and weigh the segments, then log by grams.
- If you don't have a scale, pick the small, medium or large serving that best matches your orange, or use 1 cup of sections (about 85 calories) for fruit salads.
- In BerryFit, you can snap a photo of your orange or fruit bowl and then adjust the portion size to match what you actually ate.
