Higher-or-Lower Quiz · Last updated: October 2026
How many calories are in 100 grams of cucumber, honey or olive oil? The values show how differently energy-dense foods can be. Tip: water-rich fruit and vegetables have few calories, while fats and oils are at the very top.
The calorie content of food is usually given per 100 grams so it can be compared. What matters is the share of water, fat, carbohydrates and protein: water provides no energy, while fat provides the most at around nine kilocalories per gram.
That is why vegetables and many fruits are in the low range, grain products and sweets in the middle, and oils, nuts or chocolate in the high range. The figures are averages and can vary by variety and preparation.
All values are rounded approximations (as of 2024/25) meant for fun, not as a factual source.
