Orange calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of orange contains 47 calories, with 0.9 g of protein, 11.8 g of carbohydrate and 0.1 g of fat. It provides 2.4 g of fiber and 9.4 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
Oranges carry their sugar inside intact cell walls, so the energy arrives slower than orange juice with the same calorie count. Peeling one is also a natural portion brake — nobody absent-mindedly eats four. The segments are about 87% water, which makes oranges one of the more filling sweet snacks per calorie.
