How many calories are in a Californian orange?

There's no label on the pakaging. They're about the size of a softball. I've been logging it as 140 calories. Here's a picture: vdmffizicoi7.jpg.
(I'm not sure if the link works. I'm really sorry if it didn't.)
Does anyone know or have a good guess?

    You're not going to be accurate without a food scale. Fruit/produce varies dramatically. Remove the inedible pieces (skin, seeds, etc.), then use a food scale with USDA numbers. If you do a google search for "calories orange" the information will pop right up:

    Orange: 47 calories/100 grams.

    I would weight it and log it by the ounce.

    I don't have a kitchen scale. I just want an estimate from someone who has ones similar to these.

    140 calories seems about right, keeping it on the safe side. But I highly recommend investing in a digital kitchen scale that has a tare feature, and weighs in ounces and grams. You can get them relatively cheap at Wal-Mart. I takes all the guess work out of things like this :smile:
