What it takes to burn this off
Estimated for a typical 70kg (154 lb) adult — actual calories burned vary by body weight, pace, and fitness level. General reference only, not personalized advice.
A medium orange's edible portion weighs about 120–150g, so one orange carries roughly 11–14g of natural sugar — meaningfully less than the same weight of orange juice, since juicing removes the fibre and concentrates the sugar.
Figures are for general reference, not personalized medical guidance; always confirm with a lab-tested label or professional for dietary decisions.
