Pears nutrition: calories, protein and portion sizes
In this Fineli Release 20.0 reference, 100 g provides about 43 kcal and 0.3 g protein. Reference food and preparation: raw, peeled. Match the edible weight and preparation below, or use the current label for your own product.
Quick answer
An example 160 g edible portion of pears (raw, peeled) supplies about 69 kcal, 0.5 g protein and 6.2 g fiber. This is a scaled food-composition estimate, not a recommended serving size.
Pears: nutrition per 100 g and example portion
Reference preparation: raw, peeled. The exact source name is “Pear, without skin” (Fineli food 11062). Available carbohydrate excludes fiber and is not the same measure as US Total Carbohydrate.
Values are rounded after scaling. A small reported amount may round below 0.1 g; a missing value is marked Not available rather than treated as zero. This selected extract does not include sugar, sodium or micronutrient amounts; the full Fineli database contains information beyond these tables.

| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 160 g example |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 43 kcal | 69 kcal |
| Protein | 0.3 g | 0.5 g |
| Available carbohydrate (excludes fiber) | 8 g | 12.8 g |
| Fat | 0.1 g | 0.1 g |
| Saturated fat | <0.1 g | <0.1 g |
| Fiber | 3.9 g | 6.2 g |
How to weigh pears
The reference is peeled pear flesh, excluding the core. A skin-on pear should use a matching entry, particularly when tracking fiber. Weigh the part you actually eat rather than treating every pear as one standard serving.
Calculate your own pears portion
For the 160 g example, multiply the source amounts by 160 ÷ 100 = 1.6. The unrounded energy calculation is 43.2 × 1.6 = 69.12 kcal, displayed as approximately 69 kcal. Use the same factor for protein, available carbohydrate, fat and fiber.
For another amount, replace 160 with your own edible weight. Keep the preparation as raw, peeled; if your food is prepared differently, choose a matching reference or calculate its recipe instead.
How preparation changes the estimate
Fresh pear, dried pear and pear canned in syrup have different nutrient concentrations. Poached pear should include any syrup eaten with it. The liquid left in a saucepan is not necessarily the same amount as the liquid served.
Meal ideas using pears
Use these combinations as menu ideas and adjust the amounts to your appetite and preferences. Each added ingredient belongs in the complete meal estimate.
- Combine pear pieces with quark and cinnamon.
- Add pear to a rye-bread plate with cottage cheese, keeping spreads separate.

The following are separate reference foods, shown per 100 g for orientation. Check the preparation column: dry, raw and cooked values are not interchangeable, and equal gram weights are not necessarily equivalent portions.

Frequently asked questions
How many calories are in 160 g of pears?
This raw, peeled reference supplies about 69 kcal per 160 g edible portion. Match the preparation state and check a package label when available.
Does the preparation of pears matter?
Fresh pear, dried pear and pear canned in syrup have different nutrient concentrations. Poached pear should include any syrup eaten with it. The liquid left in a saucepan is not necessarily the same amount as the liquid served.
How do I calculate a different portion?
Multiply each per-100 g nutrient amount by your edible serving weight divided by 100. Match raw, dry, cooked or drained weight to the reference and include sauces or cooking additions separately.
