English Cucumber Calories

How many calories are in an English cucumber? This vegetable is famously low in calories, making it a favorite for those using a calorie counter or managing their food intake. A generous serving of half a medium English cucumber, weighing about 150 grams, contains only approximately 23 calories. This minimal calorie count makes it an excellent choice for anyone aiming for a calorie deficit to lose weight. Unlike high-calorie foods, cucumbers can be eaten in large volumes without significantly impacting your daily calorie goal. They are a perfect addition to salads, sandwiches, or as a crunchy, low-calorie snack on their own.

Hydration and Nutrients

Beyond just being a low calorie snack, English cucumbers offer valuable hydration. They are composed of about 95% water, which helps in meeting your daily fluid needs and contributes to feelings of fullness. In terms of macronutrients, a 150g serving provides around 5.5 grams of total carbohydrates, with a small portion of that being dietary fiber (about 0.8 grams). The protein and fat content are negligible, at roughly 1 gram of protein and less than 0.2 grams of fat. This nutritional profile makes cucumbers a light and refreshing food that supports hydration without adding excess calories or fat to your diet.
