A medium orange (about 131 g) provides roughly 60 calories, 3 g of fiber, and a full day’s vitamin C, per USDA FoodData Central. Eating the whole fruit gives fiber that juice lacks, so it’s more filling for similar (or fewer) calories. Oranges make a portable, low-density snack. Pair with protein if you want longer fullness.
Key facts:
- Medium orange: ~60 kcal
