A medium pear is mostly water and carbohydrates, with about 101 calories. Its 5.5 grams of fibre stand out, making it a genuinely good source of this nutrient, while its fat content is negligible at under a gram. Most of the carbs come as natural sugars, roughly 17 grams per fruit, so it is a sweet, hydrating snack rather than a protein or fat contributor.

One medium pear works well as a portable snack between meals, especially when you want something filling for relatively few calories. It pairs nicely with a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese to add protein and fat, creating a more balanced mini-meal. The honest caveat is the sugar load, so if you are watching total sugar intake, consider a smaller portion or eating it earlier in the day.
