Most of the calories in an apple come from carbohydrates. Apples contain naturally occurring sugars along with dietary fiber, while contributing only small amounts of protein and fat.
How Many Calories Are in an Apple?
The nutrition table above uses 100 grams as a standard reference. An actual apple may weigh more or less than 100g, so its calorie content will depend on its size and edible weight.
For example, a larger apple will naturally contain more calories, carbohydrates, and sugar than a smaller apple because you are eating a greater amount of fruit.
Using nutrition per 100g makes it easier to compare apples with bananas, berries, oranges, and other foods on the same basis.
Are Apples High in Sugar?
Apples contain natural sugars, with approximately 10.4g of total sugar per 100g .
That number should be considered together with the whole food rather than viewed in isolation. A raw apple also contains water and dietary fiber, and its sugar occurs naturally within the fruit.
The amount of sugar you consume will ultimately depend on the size and amount of apple you eat.
Do Apples Contain Fiber?
Yes. Apple provides approximately 2.4g of dietary fiber per 100g .
The skin contributes to the fiber content, so the nutrition profile of a peeled apple can differ from an apple eaten with its skin.
Apples Are Low in Protein and Fat
Apple is not a significant source of either protein or fat.
A 100g serving contains only about 0.3g of protein and 0.2g of fat . Its nutritional profile is therefore very different from protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, dairy products, beans, or nuts.
