well, obviously a grape has fewer calories than a banana due to its size differential
Can you be more specific in your question?

Citrus Fruits :
Lemons: 19kcal/100g Oranges 37kcal/100g
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit are an excellent source of antioxidant bioflavonoids and vitamin C - a single fruit usually provides the recommended daily amount of 60mg per day. Oranges contain the flavonoid, hesperidin, while grapefruits contain the flavonoid naringenin. These work together with vitamin C to boost its antioxidant effectiveness, and may also have anti-cancer properties. Citrus fruits contain pectin - a soluble fibre that helps to lower a high cholesterol level. Lemons are a rich source of lemonoids and limonene - phytochemicals that protect against cancer.
Citrus fruits contain useful amounts of potassium, calcium and folate. Aim to eat at least one citrus fruit per day. Interestingly, using lime juice as a flavouring reduces the need for salt.
Several studies suggest that natural dietary intakes of betacarotene and vitamin A are important in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and a number of cancers, including breast, lung, skin cancer (melanoma) and possibly leukaemia.

All fruits are fairly low in calories and very good for you too.
