Cherry tomato calories come to 13 for 5 tomatoes (50 g) and 27 per 100 g, raw. The thing to notice is how slowly the total climbs: a full 1 cup (152 g) bowl is still only 41 calories, so the dip, oil or cheese beside them usually decides the count, not the tomatoes.

Five tomatoes are a 13-calorie snack
The default serving here is 5 tomatoes, which weigh 49.7 g on the USDA row for raw grape tomatoes. That handful carries 13 calories, 0.4 g protein and 2.7 g carbs. Against the daily calorie value used on this page, it is about 1%.
Doubling up barely moves the needle. Two servings of 5 (99 g) land at 27 calories, three servings (149 g) at 40, and five servings, a 249 g bowl, at 67. A 1 cup measure of 152 g comes to 41 calories, which lines up almost exactly with the three-serving handful.
That slow climb is the useful part. Cherry tomatoes are one of the few foods where finishing the bowl is a reasonable portion, not a slip. Where the total does move is in what rides along: olive oil, feta, ranch or a salty cracker can turn a 41-calorie cup into a much bigger number.
Carbs supply 71% of the calories
Per 100 g, cherry tomatoes carry 5.5 g carbs, 0.8 g protein and 0.6 g fat. Run those through the calorie split and carbs account for 71% of the energy, fat 18% and protein 11%. This is a carbohydrate food, but a dilute one, so 100 g still lands at only 27 calories.
Part of that carb figure is fiber, 2.1 g per 100 g. That is why a cup with 8.4 g carbs still reads as light on a tracker. The 18% from fat sounds bigger than it is: 0.6 g per 100 g is a trace, not a reason to worry.
Protein is the gap. At 1.3 g per cup, cherry tomatoes do little for the protein line, about 3% of the daily value. Treat them as volume and color, and get protein from whatever you put next to them.
Fiber and potassium outshine the sodium row
Sodium is a non-issue here. Raw cherry tomatoes have 6 mg per 100 g, and even a full cup holds 9 mg, which shows as 0% of the 2300 mg daily value. If you watch sodium, the salt you sprinkle on top will outweigh anything the tomatoes bring.
Fiber is the more interesting row. A 152 g cup supplies 3.2 g against a 28 g daily value, and the 5-tomato serving gives about 1 g. For 41 calories, that is a good return, and it is one reason a bowl of them feels like more food than the number suggests.
Potassium runs at 260 mg per 100 g, measured against a daily value of 4700 mg. One handful will not cover much of that on its own. Tomatoes that show up at lunch and again at dinner add up across the day, though, and they do it without adding sodium.
Build the protein around the tomatoes
Because a cup is only 41 calories and 1.3 g protein, cherry tomatoes work best as the bulk of a plate rather than the center. Halved into eggs, tossed with chickpeas or skewered with mozzarella, they add volume and color without shifting the total much.
The calories that matter come from the partners. Oil-based dressings, cheese and dips are dense, while the tomatoes themselves stay at 27 per 100 g. If you track closely, weigh and log the dressing separately; that is usually where an estimate drifts.
Roasting changes the texture but not the math: the calories of the raw tomatoes stay the same, and only the oil you add counts extra. BodyPal can log a bowl of them from a photo, which helps when they are one ingredient among several on the plate.
How does cherry tomato compare?
Here is how cherry tomatoes stack up against roma tomatoes, tomato sauce and our other cherry tomatoes entry, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the leanest count per 100 g, roma tomatoes and the other cherry tomatoes entry both sit at 18 calories, against 27 for this grape-style row. The gap is small in real portions, so pick cherry tomatoes for snacking by the handful and a roma at 10 calories when you want one whole tomato sliced onto a sandwich.
