What one serving looks like

One medium apple of about 150 g is about the size of a tennis ball.

Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day

At 78 kcal, one serving is about 5 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 7 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. An apple is an easy snack with fibre and few calories. Eating it with the skin gives more fibre than peeling it.

Your own number depends on your height, weight, age and activity, so use the calorie calculator to find it, or read our guide to the calories in popular Indian foods.

How cooking changes the number

Raw. Stewed with sugar or baked into a dessert is another story.

A swap to try

Try Guava. Guava has more fibre per bite and a lot of vitamin C. Guava (1 medium, about 100 g) comes to 68 kcal, which is 10 kcal less than 78 for apple.
