How Many Calories Are In Your Food?
Calories measure the energy content of food. Your body needs calories to function, but consuming more than you burn leads to weight gain.

Ranked by calories per 100g, so foods compare like with like. Each row also shows the amount in a typical serving where USDA records one. Foods USDA has not analysed for calories are not ranked here.

Understanding Calories
Calories are a measure of energy. When you eat food, your body converts the calories into energy that fuels everything from breathing to running a marathon. Understanding how many calories are in the foods you eat is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and meeting your nutritional goals.
The recommended daily calorie intake varies based on age, sex, and activity level. On average, adult women need about 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day, while adult men need about 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day.
Tips for Managing Calorie Intake
- Read nutrition labels to understand portion sizes
- Choose whole, unprocessed foods more often
- Balance calorie-dense foods with lower-calorie options
- Pay attention to liquid calories from beverages
- Use our database to track the calorie content of your meals
