Half a pink grapefruit has 52 calories

Half a pink grapefruit has 52 calories, and the whole fruit has 103. USDA's grapefruit is just under 4 inches across, and half of it weighs 123 g.

USDA doesn't publish a large grapefruit. If yours is bigger than that, weigh the half you eat and count 42 calories for every 100 g, or let the calculator further down do it.
