A medium apple with skin gives you about 95 calories, mostly from 25 grams of carbs, of which nearly 19 grams are naturally occurring sugars. It’s very low in fat at just 0.3 grams per fruit, and its 4.4 grams of fiber make it a genuinely filling choice for its size. The water content is high, which adds bulk without calories.
A normal portion is one whole medium apple, eaten as-is, and it works well as a portable snack between meals or a light dessert. It pairs nicely with a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese to add protein and fat, keeping you satisfied longer. The honest caveat is that its protein is negligible, so it’s not a balanced meal on its own, but as a snack it’s a solid, low-fat option.
