For
- Low in calories: 47 kcal per 100 g, so a serving (one, 130 g) is 61 kcal.
- Counts toward your fruit and vegetables: a 130 g serving is 33% of the 400 g a day the WHO advises.
A typical serving (one, 130 g) has 61 kcal, 1.2 g protein, 0.1 g fat and 15 g carbs. Other weights in the table.
How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
More about this food
One orange covers a good share of a day's vitamin C. The whole fruit is more filling than juice because the fiber stays in.

Vitamins and minerals in orange
Per 100 g, the standouts are vitamin C — 53 mg, 59% of the Daily Value.

| Thiamin (B1) | 0.09 mg | 0.11 mg | 9% |

*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Oranges, raw, all commercial varieties” (FDC ID 169097, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 g; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

How we count
Piece weights are averages. Spoons are level US measures: 1 tsp = 4.9 ml, 1 tbsp = 14.8 ml, 1 cup = 240 ml; the weight follows the density of the food (USDA FoodData Central measure weights). The diary uses the same measures — log a portion in pieces, spoons or grams.

How much movement is one serving?

Orange: swaps and alternatives
No need to swap: oranges already get grade A, the top of the scale, and nothing is in the red on the per-100 g traffic light: sugar 8.6 g (red is over 22.5 g), saturated fat 0 g (over 5 g) and salt 0 g (over 1.5 g). We only suggest a swap when it fixes a real problem. How we pick swaps.
