Apple calories by size

The calories in an apple depend mainly on its edible weight. Using an average reference value of 52 calories per 100g, a medium apple contains about 78 calories.

Serving	Edible weight	Calories
Small apple	~100g	52 kcal
Medium apple	~150g	78 kcal
Large apple	~182g	95 kcal
Extra-large apple	~223g	116 kcal
Half a medium apple	~75g	39 kcal

These estimates use 52 kcal per 100g. Different varieties may have slightly different calorie values.

Apple nutrition per 100g

Apples contain mostly water and carbohydrates, along with fibre and small amounts of other nutrients. The table below shows average values for a raw apple with skin.

Nutrient	Per 100g	Medium apple (150g)
Calories	52 kcal	78 kcal
Carbohydrates	13.8g	20.7g
— Sugars	10.4g	15.6g
— Fibre	2.4g	3.6g
Protein	0.3g	0.5g
Fat	0.2g	0.3g
Vitamin C	4.6mg	6.9mg
Potassium	107mg	161mg
Water	85.6g	128.4g

Values are approximate averages for raw apples with skin. They can vary by variety, growing conditions and ripeness.

Are apples good for weight management?

Apples can be a useful option when managing calorie intake. They contain a high proportion of water and provide fibre, while a medium apple has around 78 calories. Their volume and texture may help make a snack feel satisfying.

However, no single food causes weight loss on its own. Overall eating habits, portion sizes and energy balance are more important than choosing one particular fruit.

Apple calories compared with other fruits

Comparing calories per 100g is a useful way to understand the differences between fruits. These approximate values refer to edible portions of the raw fruit.

Fruit	Calories per 100g
🥑 Avocado	160 kcal
🍌 Banana	89 kcal
🍇 Grapes	67 kcal
🍎 Apple	52 kcal
🍊 Orange	47 kcal
🍓 Strawberries	32 kcal

Fruit varieties and reference databases can report slightly different values.

How to calculate apple calories

The calculator estimates calories using the selected apple variety and the weight of its edible portion. For the general apple reference value, the calculation uses approximately 52 calories per 100g.

Formula

Calories = edible weight in grams × calories per 100g ÷ 100

For example, 150g of an apple containing 52 calories per 100g provides approximately 78 calories. Weighing the edible portion is more reliable than estimating calories from size alone.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in an apple?

A medium apple with around 150g of edible flesh contains approximately 78 calories. A small apple of 100g has around 52 calories, while a large apple of 182g has about 95 calories using the general reference value.

How many calories are in half an apple?

Half a medium apple, weighing around 75g, contains approximately 39 calories. The actual amount depends on the variety and the weight of the portion.

Does a green apple have fewer calories than a red apple?

Not necessarily. In this calculator, the reference value for a Granny Smith green apple is 58 calories per 100g, compared with 52 calories for the general red-apple reference. Actual values vary by variety and fruit composition.

Does peeling an apple reduce its calories?

Peeling removes some of the edible material, including much of the skin's fibre. The calorie difference depends on how much is removed. The calculator uses only a rough calorie adjustment for peeled apples, so it should not be treated as an exact nutritional measurement.

How many calories are in apple juice?

Apple juice commonly contains around 45–50 calories per 100ml, although the amount varies by product. Unlike a whole apple, juice usually contains much less fibre, so the two are not nutritionally identical.

Can I eat apples every day?

For most people, apples can be part of a varied, balanced diet. They provide water and fibre, as well as small amounts of vitamins and minerals. The right amount depends on your overall dietary needs and preferences.
