The number of calories in an orange varies depending on its size and variety, but here are typical values for a medium-sized orange (around 140-160 grams):

  • About 62 to 66 calories per medium orange is common, with 66 calories for a 140g orange and 62 calories for a slightly smaller one
  • Some sources report around 73 calories for a medium orange weighing about 154g
  • Larger oranges (around 200g) can have approximately 86 calories

In general, a medium orange contains roughly 60 to 75 calories, mostly from carbohydrates, with very little fat and some protein. The calories come predominantly from natural sugars and fiber. Summary:

  • Medium orange (~140g): 62–66 calories
  • Medium-large orange (~154g): ~73 calories
  • Large orange (~200g): ~86 calories

This range accounts for natural variation in orange size and type
