Calories in Pears
The amount of kcals contained in fruits always depends upon the size of the specimen. As a rule, raw fruits contain far less calories than their dried counterparts.
One cup of pear slices contains about 100 kcals, as does one that is medium sized.
One large pear contains about 120 kcals.
One small contains about 80 kcals.
Pears are one of the higher-calorie natural fruits as is mango, blueberries, pineapple and banana.
Dried vs Natural Pears
One cup of dried pears contains about 500 calories and is equal to about 10 dried pear halves. One half contains about 50 calories.
We can quickly see that raw natural fruits win the kcal race BUT it is highly unlikely that an individual will consume an entire cup of dried fruit at one sitting.
