SERVING SIZE
Calories by portion and serving weight
Words such as “small,” “medium,” “half” and “one piece” are convenient but imprecise. Grams make the estimate reproducible, particularly when natural foods vary in size.

FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Raw fruit
Selected and only mapped clementine state.
Fresh juice
Not represented by this record; use a juice record.
Canned segments
Not represented by this record; match the packing liquid if sourced.
Other mandarins
Do not assume a clementine record represents every mandarin variety.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How clementine can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math
47 kcal per 100 g becomes 23.5 kcal for the 50 g example.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 1.7 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 0.85 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Count the edible fruit you eat; peel weight is not part of this edible-portion reference.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep whole fruit in a cool, dry place or chilled.
After opening or cutting
Keep peeled segments covered and chilled.
Prepare
Rinse the outside before peeling or cutting.
Check before eating
Discard fruit with mould, leaking flesh or a fermented off-odour.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log clementine more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Clementines, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portions use weights stored in that same local USDA record.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
