94calories

About 5% of a 2,000 calorie day. Your own number is probably not 2,000 — the calculator works out what it should be.

Apple has 94 calories per 1 medium, 180 g. That is about 5% of a 2,000-calorie day. The same serving provides 0.5 g of protein, 25.0 g of carbohydrate, 0.3 g of fat and 4.3 g of fibre. Per 100 g, that works out at 52 calories and 0.3 g of protein. Against the thresholds EU food labelling uses, it qualifies as fat free and low energy density. Most of the fibre is in the skin, so eating it unpeeled roughly doubles what you get.

Fruit and vegetables are the cheapest way to make a plate bigger without making it heavier — fill half of it here first.
Frozen counts. It is picked ripe, costs less and keeps, and the nutrient difference is small enough to ignore.
