Highest calorie fruits

Three rankings of the same 11 fruits, because "highest calorie" means a different list depending on whether you are weighing it, serving it or filling a cup with it.

Short answer

By weight, banana tops the list at 89 calories per 100 g. It holds the top spot on a per-serving basis too. Lemon Juice sits at the other end at 22 per 100 g.

Most fruit rankings pick one measure and stop there, which is how the same fruit ends up called both the highest and the lowest in calories on different pages. A fruit that is dense per gram can be light per serving if the serving is small, and a fruit that is light per gram can carry more in a cup because more of it fits. All three are true at once and none of them is the answer on its own.

So all three are here. Per 100 g is the standard nutrition basis and the right one for comparing foods. Per serving uses each fruit's own household measure, which is what you actually put in a jar. Per cup levels the volume so the fruits compete on the same footing — the column most rankings leave out, and the one that matters when you are filling the frozen third of a blend.

Every figure comes from the same ingredient database the calculators read, so nothing here can drift from the rest of the site.

Ranked by one household serving of each. Compare against the per-100 g column above — the two orders are not the same, and the difference is serving size rather than the fruit.

Estimates, not advice. Every figure on this page is calculated from published per-100 g reference values and standard household measures, so your own brands, portions and equipment will move it. Nothing here is medical, nutritional or dietetic advice — talk to a qualified professional before acting on it, particularly if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or feeding a child.
