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 reference.
Dried or prune
Use the dried-fruit record.
Canned
Match water or syrup pack and liquid eaten.
Jam or sauce
Use the complete product label or recipe.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How raw plum 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 46 kcal per 100 g, the 66 g example is 30.4 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 1.4 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 0.7 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Use edible raw fruit weight and switch records for dried, canned or cooked products.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep whole plums according to ripeness and seller guidance.
After opening or cooking
Keep ripe or cut fruit covered and chilled.
Prepare
Rinse before eating or cutting.
Safety boundary
Discard mouldy or fermented-spoiled fruit; the nutrient record does not establish storage duration.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log raw plum 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: Plums, 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, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.

SOURCES & METHOD
Where these numbers come from
Plums, raw, per 100 g edible portion. Numeric nutrition claims use the nutrition-reviewed local USDA record. Named portion claims use source-held weights; explicitly labelled gram examples are calculations from the per-100-g record. The nutrient record does not establish storage duration, clinical advice or food-safety limits; use package directions and current authoritative guidance where relevant.
