How Many Calories in One Oreo?
One Oreo is 52 calories. The biscuit weighs 11 g and the label reads 472 kcal per 100 g, so the classic three-with-a-brew comes to 156 and a full 308 g pack to roughly 1,454. The calorie figure is not the interesting part of this label, though. The saturated fat is.
You'd need to walk about 10 minutes to burn the 52 calories in one biscuit (11 g).

Oreo quick facts
Everything below is Oreo Original, the blue-packet standard. The middle column is the unit you actually eat.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per biscuit (11 g) | RI%* per biscuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | 472 kcal / 1,975 kJ | 52 kcal / 218 kJ | 3% |
| Protein | 5.6 g | 0.6 g | 1% |
| Carbohydrates | 67 g | 7.4 g | 3% |
| – of which sugars | 35 g | 3.9 g | 4% |

Verified nutrition data
Numbers on this page come from CoFID, the UK government’s Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset, and from manufacturer labels where a branded product is named. Last verified August 2026. How we verify our data →
*RI% = one biscuit's share of an adult's daily reference intake, based on 2,000 kcal.
Three independent UK label records agree on those macros to the decimal, which is more consistency than most branded biscuits manage. One stray record puts the salt at 1.9 g per 100 g while listing identical fat and sugar, and that combination is not chemically plausible; the consensus across the range, including the Gingerbread edition at 0.761 g, is 0.76.
Read the right-hand column and the whole thing shrinks. No single row on an Oreo reaches 5% of a day. That is what an 11 g food does to a nutrition label, and it is also why the biscuit is so easy to under-count.
One biscuit, three, or the whole sleeve
- One biscuit (11 g): 52 kcal
- Two: 104 kcal
- Three: 156 kcal
- Four: 208 kcal
- Six: 312 kcal
- One sleeve (14 biscuits, 154 g): 727 kcal
- Full 308 g pack (28 biscuits): 1,454 kcal
The standard UK pack is 308 g split into two sealed sleeves of fourteen. That construction is the single most useful thing to know about counting these, because the sleeve is the real unit of consumption for a lot of people, not the biscuit. Opening the second sleeve is a 727 kcal decision dressed up as a small one.
Compare the ends of that ladder. Three Oreos cost 156 kcal, which is less than a single bar of most filled chocolate. A sleeve costs more than a takeaway pizza slice and arrives in four-calorie increments so small that nothing warns you. The trap with Oreos was never the biscuit. It is that nobody stops at three.
If you want a hard stop, count them out before the packet reaches the sofa. Four is 208 kcal and a sensible ceiling for an afternoon; the maths after that gets ugly fast.
The saturated fat surprise
Here is the number nobody puts on the front of the box. UK government composition data gives an average cream sandwich biscuit 13.31 g of saturated fat per 100 g. Oreo Original has 5.4 g.
That is not a rounding difference. It is two thirds less, and it comes from a straightforward bit of manufacturing: the white filling is built on vegetable fat rather than butter, and vegetable fat carries far less saturated fat for the same texture. Total fat tells you nothing about this. Oreo has 19 g per 100 g against 23.3 g for the composition-data average, a modest gap. The saturates gap is enormous.
One biscuit therefore carries about 0.6 g of saturated fat, roughly 3% of the daily 20 g reference. Three biscuits are under 2 g. If saturated fat is the line you watch on a label, the Oreo is one of the cheaper things in the biscuit aisle, which is not the reputation it has.
The trade-off sits one row down. Sugar is 35 g per 100 g against 29.9 g for the composition-data average, so the Oreo buys its low saturates with a sweeter biscuit. At 3.9 g of sugar each that is still a small unit, but it is the row that moves if you eat six.
Salt is worth a glance too, at 0.76 g per 100 g. That is more than the 0.47 g of the generic cream sandwich and roughly half the 1.403 g of a plain digestive. In a biscuit this size the absolute amount is trivial: 0.08 g, one seventy-fifth of the NHS daily maximum of 6 g.
Mini, Double Creme and the rest of the range
| Variant, per 100 g | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Oreo Original | 472 kcal | 11 g biscuit = 52 kcal |
| Mini Oreo | 474 kcal | 19 g bag = 90 kcal |
| Oreo Double Creme | 497 kcal | fat 23 g, sugar 43 g |
| Oreo Gingerbread | 482 kcal | |
| Oreo Vanilla Latte | 489 kcal | fat 22.2 g |
| Oreo Peanut Butter | 480 kcal | |
| Oreo O's cereal | 382.5 kcal | protein 7.5 g, carbs 80 g, sugar 10.75 g, fibre 1.5 g |
The Double Creme result is the one that surprises people. Doubling the filling adds 25 kcal per 100 g, a 5% increase, because the creme is lighter per gram than the two chocolate wafers around it. Extra filling displaces biscuit. If you have been avoiding the Double Creme on calorie grounds, you have been solving a problem that barely exists. Whether one Double Creme biscuit beats one Original depends on what the heavier biscuit weighs, and the Double Creme pack does not print a per-biscuit weight the way the Original’s 11 g serving does.
Mini Oreos are the sensible portion-control version by accident rather than design. At 474 kcal per 100 g they are no lighter than the full-size biscuit, but the single-serve bag holds 19 g and stops at 90 kcal. A bag is worth not quite two standard Oreos.
The flavoured editions cluster within 17 kcal per 100 g of each other, so choosing between Gingerbread, Vanilla Latte and Peanut Butter on calories is pointless; pick the one you like. Vanilla Latte is the fattiest at 22.2 g per 100 g, which is where its extra 17 kcal comes from.
Oreo O's belongs in a different conversation entirely. It is a breakfast cereal at 382.5 kcal per 100 g of dry cereal, with 7.5 g of protein, 80 g of carbohydrate and only 10.75 g of sugar. Per 100 g it is the lightest thing with Oreo on the label, but nobody eats 100 g of biscuits and plenty of people pour 50 g of cereal.
How an Oreo compares with other biscuits
| Per 100 g | Calories | Saturates | Sugar | Fibre | Salt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oreo Original | 472 kcal | 5.4 g | 35 g | 2.9 g | 0.76 g |
| Cream sandwich biscuits, average | 477 kcal | 13.31 g | 29.9 g | – | 0.47 g |
| Chocolate chip cookie, standard | 471 kcal | 12.15 g | – | – | – |
| Digestive, plain | 463 kcal | – | – | 3.8 g | 1.403 g |
Per 100 g these four are within 14 calories of each other, which tells you that gram for gram all sweet biscuits are much the same thing. The interesting variation is in the other columns, and it is the saturates column that separates the Oreo from every other row.
Per biscuit the picture flips, because size decides everything. A Biscoff is 38 kcal, an Oreo 52, a bourbon 68. Three Oreos and two bourbons land within 20 calories of each other. If you are counting units rather than grams, the smallest biscuit wins every time, whatever the per-100 g line says.
Our take: for a two-biscuit habit the Oreo is a good pick, cheap on saturated fat and small enough that the damage stays under 110 kcal. For a sleeve habit it is no better than anything else in the tin, and the pack format actively works against you. If you are deciding between the biscuit tin and the chocolate drawer instead, our Twix and Maltesers pages carry the per-bar figures for that argument.

Oreo FAQs
How many calories in one Oreo?
52 calories, from an 11 g biscuit at 472 kcal per 100 g. That includes 3.9 g of sugar and 0.6 g of saturated fat. Three Oreos come to 156 calories, four to 208.
How many calories in a pack of Oreos?
About 1,454 calories for the standard 308 g pack. That pack is two sealed sleeves of fourteen biscuits, so one sleeve is 154 g and roughly 727 calories. Twenty-eight biscuits at 52 each gives almost exactly the same total.
How many calories in Mini Oreos?
90 calories for a 19 g single-serve bag. Mini Oreos are 474 kcal per 100 g, essentially identical to the full-size biscuit, so the saving comes entirely from the bag being small. One bag is worth a little under two standard Oreos.
How many calories in Oreo Double Creme?
497 kcal per 100 g, against 472 for the Original. That is only 5% more, because the extra filling displaces biscuit and the creme is lighter per gram than the wafers. Double the creme does not mean double anything on the label.
Are Oreos vegan?
The British Oreo Original pack carries a vegetarian label. It does not carry a vegan certification and its ingredient list is not classified as vegan, so treat the “accidentally vegan” claims repeated online as unverified rather than as label facts. The pack in your hand is the only thing that settles it.
Oreo or digestive: which is lighter?
Per 100 g they are close, 472 for Oreo against 463 for a plain digestive. Two rows separate them: the Oreo carries roughly half the salt, 0.76 g against 1.403 g, and the digestive carries more fibre, 3.8 g against 2.9 g. Per biscuit the answer depends entirely on which biscuit is bigger.
How much sugar is in an Oreo?
3.9 g per biscuit, from 35 g per 100 g. Three Oreos put 11.7 g of sugar on the plate. That is above the composition-data average for cream sandwich biscuits, which is 29.9 g per 100 g, and it is the price the Oreo pays for its unusually low saturated fat.
How many Oreos are in a pack?
Twenty-eight in the standard 308 g pack, arranged as two sleeves of fourteen. At 52 calories each that is 1,454 calories a pack and 727 a sleeve. The sleeve, not the biscuit, is the number worth remembering.
