The number of calories in a date varies depending on the type and size of the date:
- A typical small date (about 8-10 grams) contains approximately 20 to 26 calories
- Medjool dates, which are larger, contain more calories, around 66 to 70 calories per date
- On average, 100 grams of dates contain about 277 to 281 calories, so a single date's calories depend on its weight and variety
In summary, most common dates have between 20 and 70 calories each, with Medjool dates on the higher end due to their larger size and sugar content.
