How it fits into a day

A medium apple of about 165 g has about 85 kcal and 4 g fibre, much of it in the peel. That's why eating an apple beats drinking juice: the fibre fills you up, and juice has almost none. Almost all of the calories come from carbs.

A usual serving (1 medium apple) is about 4% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.
