Tangerines (Mandarin Oranges) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tangerines (Mandarin Oranges)

• Metabolic Effect: Packing 26.7 mg of Vitamin C per serving, these citrus gems fortify your immune defenses while enhancing iron absorption to keep your energy levels high. The 1.8g of dietary fiber in every 100g helps stabilize your blood sugar, effectively preventing hunger pangs later in the day.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend my clients eat the whole fruit rather than juicing it to ensure you ingest the 13.34g of carbohydrates alongside their natural fiber. Pairing your tangerine with a source of healthy fats like raw walnuts can further slow sugar absorption and keep you satisfied longer.
• What to Watch For: While 53.0 calories per 100g is quite low, mindlessly snacking on them can lead to an unintended fructose overload. Those managing their mineral intake should note the 166.0 mg of potassium and aim for a limit of 2 to 3 medium-sized fruits daily.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn off the 53 calories found in a 100g portion, a brisk 10-minute walk is all it takes to clear that energy. This quick burst of movement ensures the natural sugars are utilized as immediate fuel for your muscles.
