Fresh fig has 74 kcal and 16.3 g sugar per 100 g. Soft, sweet, and quick to eat — three figs (150 g) deliver 111 kcal. The tiny edible seeds add crunch and fiber (2.9 g).
How should I track Figs (Fresh)?
Figs is a good source of fiber. When tracking Figs, 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.
