Pineapple calories & macros
50 calories per 100 g · 83 calories per 1 cup chunks (165 g). Pineapple (raw).
Pineapple tastes far more indulgent than its calorie count suggests: a full cup of chunks is only about 83 calories. Nearly all of that is carbohydrate, and about three quarters of the carbohydrate is naturally occurring sugar, which is why it reads as dessert. It is also one of the few common foods containing bromelain, the enzyme that makes your tongue tingle after a few pieces.

Frequently asked
How many calories are in a cup of pineapple?
A cup of fresh pineapple chunks (165 g) is about 83 calories, with roughly 22 g of carbohydrate and 2.3 g of fiber. Canned pineapple in juice runs slightly higher, and in syrup considerably higher.
Is pineapple good for weight loss?
It works well as a sweet option: high water content and fiber for a modest calorie cost. Just count it as a carbohydrate serving rather than a free food, since the sugar adds up quickly if you eat half a pineapple in one sitting.
Why does pineapple make my mouth sting?
Bromelain, a group of enzymes in raw pineapple that break down protein — including briefly on the surface of your tongue. Cooking or canning deactivates it, which is why grilled pineapple never has the same effect.
