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
Selected and only mapped nectarine state.
Grilled or baked
Use a cooked entry when available and log added fat or sugar.
Canned
Not represented by the selected raw record; match the packing liquid.
Dried
A concentrated product that requires a separate entry.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How nectarine 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
At 39 kcal per 100 g, the 100 g example is 39 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 1.5 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 1.06 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Weigh the edible fruit and add syrup, sugar, cream or other recipe ingredients separately.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Let firm nectarines ripen away from excessive heat.
After opening or cutting
Keep ripe or cut fruit covered and chilled.
Prepare
Rinse the outside before cutting or eating.
Safety boundary
Discard mouldy or leaking fruit; the nutrient record does not establish storage duration.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log nectarine 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: Nectarines, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the 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.
