How this fits a day of eating
A medium apple (182g) is about 95 calories, under 5% of a 2,000 calorie day. Apples are mostly water with some fibre, so they take a while to eat and fill you up for very few calories, which makes them one of the easiest snacks to fit into a deficit.
Eat the apple rather than drink it. A cup of apple juice has around 114 calories and almost no fibre, so it is far less filling than a whole apple with similar calories.
Common questions
How many calories are in an apple?
A medium apple about 7.5cm across weighs around 182g and contains roughly 95 calories, 25g of carbohydrate and 4g of fibre. A small apple of 149g is about 77 calories, and a large one of 223g comes to around 116. Much of the fibre is in and just under the skin.
Are apples good for weight loss?
Apples are a useful weight loss food. They are about 86% water, provide fibre, and take time to chew, so they are filling for their calories. A medium apple has around 95 calories, and research has found that eating whole apples before a meal can reduce how much people eat afterwards.
Should you peel an apple?
Leaving the skin on is usually the better choice. The peel holds a large share of the apple's fibre and many of its polyphenols, while adding very few calories. A peeled apple has about 48 calories per 100g compared with 52 unpeeled. Wash apples well before eating them with the skin.
