Calories in an Orange, Tangerine, Lemon and Lime

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

An orange, a tangerine, a lemon and a lime each have a fruit weight printed on their SR Legacy record page. This guide gives fifteen such records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: five raw orange records (all commercial varieties, California Valencias, navels, Florida and with peel), raw tangerines (mandarin oranges), clementines, kumquats and pummelo, raw lemons without peel, lemon peel, lemon juice from concentrate, raw limes, canned or bottled lime juice and raw tangerine juice, with the weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has rows for sweet lime (E034, mosambi), lemon juice (E033), orange (E047) and pummelo (E056); we name them and do not repeat their figures. The per fruit guide on apple, banana and orange is here, glass-sized juices are in our juice guide and grapes and mango varieties in our grapes and mango guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 1 raw orange of all commercial varieties, 2-5/8 inches across (131 g), is 61.6 kcal, 1 navel orange (140 g) 68.6 kcal, 1 medium raw tangerine (88 g) 46.6 kcal, 1 clementine (74 g) 34.8 kcal, 1 raw lemon without peel (58 g) 16.8 kcal, 1 raw lime (67 g) 20.1 kcal and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice from concentrate (15 g) 2.6 kcal. Our reading: the fruit rows sit close together, from 46 to 53 kcal per 100 g for the peeled oranges, clementines and tangerines, so the size of the fruit decides the calories, and the orange with peel row at 63 kcal per 100 g is a different row from the peeled ones.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. The juice records print fluid ounce labels, which are shown as printed.

The sums: 169097 47 × 96 / 100 = 45.12, so 45.1 kcal; 169097 47 × 184 / 100 = 86.48, so 86.5 kcal; 169097 47 × 180 / 100 = 84.6, so 84.6 kcal; 169097 47 × 131 / 100 = 61.57, so 61.6 kcal; 169916 49 × 180 / 100 = 88.2, so 88.2 kcal; 169916 49 × 121 / 100 = 59.29, so 59.3 kcal; 169917 49 × 165 / 100 = 80.85, so 80.9 kcal; 169917 49 × 140 / 100 = 68.6, so 68.6 kcal; 169917 49 × 154 / 100 = 75.46, so 75.5 kcal; 169918 46 × 151 / 100 = 69.46, so 69.5 kcal; 169918 46 × 141 / 100 = 64.86, so 64.9 kcal; 169918 46 × 185 / 100 = 85.1, so 85.1 kcal; 169919 63 × 159 / 100 = 100.17, so 100.2 kcal; 169919 63 × 170 / 100 = 107.1, so 107.1 kcal; 169105 53 × 88 / 100 = 46.64, so 46.6 kcal; 169105 53 × 76 / 100 = 40.28, so 40.3 kcal; 169105 53 × 120 / 100 = 63.6, so 63.6 kcal; 169105 53 × 195 / 100 = 103.35, so 103.4 kcal; 169105 53 × 109 / 100 = 57.77, so 57.8 kcal; 168195 47 × 74 / 100 = 34.78, so 34.8 kcal; 168154 71 × 19 / 100 = 13.49, so 13.5 kcal; 167754 38 × 190 / 100 = 72.2, so 72.2 kcal; 167754 38 × 609 / 100 = 231.42, so 231.4 kcal; 167746 29 × 212 / 100 = 61.48, so 61.5 kcal; 167746 29 × 84 / 100 = 24.36, so 24.4 kcal; 167746 29 × 58 / 100 = 16.82, so 16.8 kcal; 167746 29 × 58 / 100 = 16.82, so 16.8 kcal; 167746 29 × 7 / 100 = 2.03, so 2.0 kcal; 167749 47 × 2 / 100 = 0.94, so 0.9 kcal; 167749 47 × 6 / 100 = 2.82, so 2.8 kcal; 167748 17 × 5 / 100 = 0.85, so 0.9 kcal; 167748 17 × 244 / 100 = 41.48, so 41.5 kcal; 167748 17 × 30.5 / 100 = 5.185, so 5.2 kcal; 167748 17 × 15 / 100 = 2.55, so 2.6 kcal; 168155 30 × 67 / 100 = 20.1, so 20.1 kcal; 168155 30 × 67 / 100 = 20.1, so 20.1 kcal; 168157 21 × 246 / 100 = 51.66, so 51.7 kcal; 168157 21 × 30.8 / 100 = 6.468, so 6.5 kcal; 169925 43 × 247 / 100 = 106.21, so 106.2 kcal; 169925 43 × 30.9 / 100 = 13.287, so 13.3 kcal.

Why these are reference rows, not your fruit

• Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. The records are USDA's generic raw fruit, peel and juice rows; we do not say that a fruit sold in India matches them.
• No row for mosambi or nimbu. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for sweet lime, mosambi and nimbu returned no record. IFCT 2017 has its own rows for sweet lime pulp, lemon juice, orange and pummelo, named above and not used here.
• Two guides, two datasets for one orange. Our per fruit guide uses the IFCT 2017 orange pulp row (E047) at 37 kcal per 100 g and 48 kcal for a 130 g orange by our weight; the peeled SR Legacy orange rows here are 46 to 49 kcal per 100 g with printed fruit weights. The datasets and the weights differ, so use one source for the same meal.
• Every portion here is printed. No fruit, cup or spoon weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of 14 of the 15 records "Calculated" and print no source label on the energy of the other 1 (167749); they are USDA values, not our measurements.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh the peeled fruit. 100 g of raw oranges of all commercial varieties (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 169097 is 47 × 100 / 100 = 47, so 47.0 kcal.
• Pick the row the record names. Oranges peeled, oranges with peel, tangerines, clementines, kumquats and pummelo are different rows; the same weight of each gives different calories.
• A fruit is not one weight. The all commercial varieties orange record prints a 96 g small fruit, a 131 g fruit and a 184 g large fruit, so choose the label that matches your fruit.
• Juice is separate. A squeezed glass is in our juice guide; the lime and lemon juice rows here are the bottled records.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a citrus fruit from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same meal.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out
