One cup of pineapple chunks (about 165 g) provides roughly 80 calories and a full day’s vitamin C, per USDA FoodData Central. Pineapple is mostly water and natural sugar; it’s a refreshing, low-calorie fruit. Pair with protein (Greek yogurt) for balance. Use fresh or canned in juice (not syrup) to avoid added sugar.
