Durian has 147 kcal and 5.3 g fat per 100 g. Unusually high in both calories and fat for a fruit. The strong aroma divides opinion — but at 147 kcal per 100 g, portion awareness matters.
How should I track Durian?
Durian is a good source of fiber. When tracking Durian, weigh the edible portion — after peeling, coring, or removing seeds. The part you throw away does not count, but it can make up 20–40% of the total weight depending on the fruit. A systematic review (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found that fruits are among the most commonly misestimated food groups. One more thing to watch: fresh and dried versions have very different calorie density. A handful of dried fruit can have the same calories as a whole bowl of fresh — always double-check which form you are logging.
