A typical date (the fruit) has about 20–25 calories, depending on size and variety.

Quick Scoop

  • One small–medium Deglet Noor–type date is roughly 20–23 calories.
  • Many nutrition tables round it to about 20 calories per average pitted date (≈7 g).
  • Larger dates, like Medjool, are more calorie-dense and can reach around 60–70 calories per fruit because they’re heavier and sweeter.

In practical terms, if you pop 3 average dates as a snack, you’re usually looking at roughly 60–75 calories, while 3 big Medjool dates could be closer to 180–200 calories.
