Cutie mandarin orange calories come to 40 for one small fruit (76 g) and 53 per 100 g. The one thing to notice is how little each fruit adds: even a large Cutie is 64 calories. The total only climbs when they disappear by the handful, because nearly all of the energy is natural sugar.

Three small Cuties land at 121 calories
Cuties are sold by the bag, not by weight, so the size in your hand sets the number. A small one at 76 g is 40 calories, a medium at 88 g is 47, and a large at 120 g is 64. The spread between small and large is real, but it is still a gap of a couple dozen calories, not a meal's worth.
The total moves when you eat more than one, and with a fruit this easy to peel, most people do. Two small Cuties come to 81 calories, three reach 121, and five, about 380 g of fruit, add up to 201. That five-fruit pile is the realistic afternoon at a desk with an open bag, and it is worth counting.
Peeled sections in a cup are another common way to serve them, especially for kids or in a fruit salad. One cup of sections weighs 195 g and holds 103 calories, roughly what you get from two to three small fruits. If you log by the cup, measure loosely packed sections, since pressing them down fits more fruit into the same cup.
Nine in ten calories come from carbs
The calorie split is lopsided: 90% carbohydrate, 5% protein and 5% fat. Per 100 g that works out to 13.3 g of carbs, 0.8 g of protein and 0.3 g of fat. In practice, a Cutie is a small package of fruit sugar and water with a little fiber attached.
Of those 13.3 g of carbs, 10.6 g are sugars and 1.8 g are fiber. A medium Cutie gives you 11.7 g of carbs, 9.3 g of them sugar, and 1.6 g of fiber. The sugar is the fruit's own, not added, but it still counts toward your carbs if you track them closely.
Fat barely registers, and saturated fat and cholesterol both read 0. Protein is the weak spot: a medium fruit has 0.7 g, which is just 1% of the daily value. Cuties sweeten a snack. They do not carry it on their own.
Sugar is the row to read, sodium is not
Sugar is the number that grows fastest with portion size. One small Cutie has 8 g, a large has 12.7 g, and a cup of sections has 20.6 g. If you are keeping an eye on sugar, the cup is where it adds up, mostly because a bowl of peeled sections goes down faster than whole fruit you have to peel one by one.
Fiber rises alongside it, which is the trade that whole fruit offers over juice. A large Cutie has 2.2 g of fiber and a cup of sections has 3.5 g, against a daily value of 28 g. That is a modest contribution, not a fiber source to build around, but it beats a sweet with no fiber at all.
Sodium is close to absent at 2 mg per fruit, rounding to 0% of the daily value for every size, and the cup still holds only 4 mg. Potassium is the mineral that shows up instead, at 166 mg per 100 g. If you watch sodium, Cuties need no thought at all.
Pair a Cutie with protein to make it a snack
At 40 to 64 calories each, a Cutie fits almost anywhere: in a lunchbox, after dinner, or as the sweet bite that replaces dessert. Its weakness is staying power. With 0.6 g of protein in a small fruit, it will not keep you full for long on its own.
The fix is simple. Put one or two next to something with protein or fat, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, a few nuts or a cheese stick, and the snack holds you over far better. Sections also work in salads with leafy greens, where their sweetness offsets bitter or peppery leaves.
Logging them is easy as long as you note the size or the count. If a bowl of peeled sections makes counting awkward, BodyPal can log the food from a photo, so the five-fruit afternoon does not slip through uncounted.
How does cutie compare?
Here is how a Cutie stacks up against other popular fruit, compared per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories per bite, strawberries win at 32 per 100 g, about 0.6 times a Cutie, with 38 calories in 10 medium berries. Green grapes are the easiest to overdo at 69 per 100 g and 104 per cup, so a single Cutie at 47 for a medium fruit is the more controlled sweet snack.
