A typical 150 g (5.5 oz, about 1 cup) serving provides about 48 kcal, 1 g of protein, and 3 g of fiber.
What it is and how to eat it
The strawberry sold in stores is a cultivated hybrid (Fragaria × ananassa); in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay and other South American countries it is called frutilla, and in Spain the largest ones are sometimes sold as fresón. It is available fresh in season and frozen all year, and also in jams, yogurts and smoothies, which often contain added sugar. This page covers fresh strawberries, with 32 kcal, 2 g of fiber and 58.8 mg of vitamin C per 100 g according to USDA.
A 150 g (5.3 oz) serving provides only 48 kcal, 3 g of fiber and 1 g of protein, so it fills you up by volume but is not the protein part of the plate. The 2025 nutrition advisory on GLP-1 therapy lists berries among the fruits to encourage, and paired with a high-protein dairy food you get both, as in the Greek yogurt with fruit and seeds, the Greek yogurt, banana, and strawberry smoothie or the cottage cheese and oat pancakes with strawberries. If you eat very little, have them after the protein, not before, and in the weeks after a dose increase a handful on your yogurt may be enough.
What the evidence says
With 58.8 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, a 150 g serving provides 88.2 mg, 110% of the EU's 80 mg reference value, and strawberries easily exceed the 24 mg per 100 g required for a "high vitamin C" claim (Regulations (EC) No 1924/2006 and (EU) No 1169/2011). That means they could carry authorized claims such as "vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system" or "vitamin C increases iron absorption", which only require the food to be at least a source of vitamin C (Regulation (EU) No 432/2012). Those claims do not say they prevent colds: a 2013 Cochrane review concluded that taking daily supplements of at least 200 mg of vitamin C did not reduce how many colds the general population caught, although it shortened their duration by 8% in adults.

Satiety
The 1 to 5 score is our own estimate: it starts at 1 point, adds points for low energy density, for protein and fiber per 100 kcal, and for the water in solid foods, and subtracts points for drinks with calories. It is useful for comparing foods with each other; it is not a measurement in people.

Frequently asked questions about strawberries
How much protein does a 150 g (5.5 oz) serving of strawberries have?

100 g (3.5 oz) of strawberries has 2 g of fiber. A typical 150 g (5.5 oz) serving has about 3 g of fiber.
How filling are strawberries?
Very filling for the calories they provide: our estimated satiety score is 5 out of 5. It is based on: very low energy density; a lot of fiber per calorie; high water content. It is an estimate based on its composition, not a measurement in people.
Are strawberries a good choice on a GLP-1 medication?
Based on our tags, this is what matters about strawberries on a GLP-1 medication. “Low energy density”: plenty of volume for few calories; make sure it does not push protein foods off your plate. “Hydrating”: a lot of water, which contributes to hydration when you eat and drink less. These are general guidelines, not medical advice: everyone tolerates foods differently.
How many grams or ounces are in a serving of strawberries?
We use 150 g (5.5 oz) as a typical serving, about 1 cup. That amount provides about 48 kcal, 1 g of protein, and 3 g of fiber. It is a reference for calculations, not a recommendation of how much to eat.
