Grapes: how many calories?

Grapes carries 69 calories per 100 grams, and a typical portion is 100 grams too — so both figures are the same. The tables below give that figure in cups, spoons and slices.

100 g · 1 portion69kcal
  • Protein0.7 g
  • Carbs18.0 g
  • Fat0.2 g
  • Fibre0.9 g

Where do the calories come from?

  • Protein 4%
  • Carbs 94%
  • Fat 2%

The shares are calculated from the calorie value of the macros: protein and carbohydrate are 4 calories per gram, fat is 9. Fibre is counted inside the carbohydrate and there is no alcohol in this list, which is why the three shares always add up to one hundred percent.

What do these numbers mean on the plate?

Grapes carries 0.7 calories per gram: 100 calories come to 145 grams. This is the typical range of cooked home food — as the portion grows the calories grow with it, and both move at the same pace.

The typical portion is already 100 grams, so the table figures are the figures for one portion — for Grapes there is nothing to convert.

In calories, one portion (100 g · 69 kcal) comes to: 105 g Mustard. Mustard page

One portion every day adds up to 25,185 calories a year — roughly a 3.3 kg difference. This is a linear estimate and an upper bound: as weight changes, daily needs change with it. Build your own timeline

In fruit and vegetables the calories are diluted by water; the dried form is several times denser at the same weight.

Cup and spoon equivalents come from the food's bulk density, not from volume: a cup holds 200 millilitres, not 200 grams. Packing and how finely something is chopped move these numbers by 10-20%. Convert your own measure

The reference values are the figures EU Regulation 1169/2011 gives for an average adult — the %RI column on labels rests on the same numbers. They are not a personal target; the fibre row is not in the regulation, the 25 grams there is EFSA's adequate intake for adults. Work out your own calorie needs

Where does it sit within its group?

It is number 10 of the 12 foods in the Fruit and vegetables group by calories per 100 grams. The group averages 51 kcal; Grapes is 36% above that average.

The “good swap” mark only appears when an option lowers the calories without also lowering protein and fibre per 100 calories. Unmarked rows save calories but give up nutrient density. Try it with your own portion

How long does it take to burn one portion (100 g)?

  • Walking — brisk (5.6 km/h)17 min
  • Running — 8 km/h (7:30 min/km)8 min
  • Cycling — 16-19 km/h10 min

The times are for someone weighing 70 kilos and use NET burn: the resting calories that would have been spent anyway over the same period are subtracted. The heavier the person, the shorter the time. Calculate with your own weight

Which claims could its label carry?

EU Regulation 1924/2006 ties every label claim to a numeric threshold. Grapes meets 1 of them:

  • Fat-free100 g → 0.2 g fat · threshold: at most 0.5 g

A claim on a label rests on that product's OWN laboratory analysis, whereas the numbers here come from average composition tables. The list is therefore not a permit but an estimate of which side of the threshold a product sits on. For drinks, the calorie and fat thresholds are set per 100 millilitres and are lower. Interpret your own label

Apply these numbers to your own portion

The values are averages taken from standard composition tables; a 10-15% difference between two products with the same name is normal, and the cooking method can double that gap. This page is for information and is not medical advice.
