Golden Delicious apple calories

A raw Golden Delicious apple with its skin provides 57 calories per 100 grams of edible fruit. The core and stem are excluded from the weight. The USDA reference is specific to Golden Delicious; it is not the generic apple or Granny Smith entry, and a yellow colour alone does not identify the cultivar.

Small, medium and large apples

The source small apple has 129 grams of edible fruit and 74 calories. A medium one weighs 169 grams and provides 96 calories; a large one weighs 215 grams and provides 123 calories. Size names are approximate guides. Weigh the part you eat when your apple differs from these measures.

A source US cup of sliced apple weighs 109 grams and supplies 62 calories. Peeled, dried, cooked or sweetened apples need their own calculation. Water loss and added ingredients change the energy in the same weight of food.

For a sugar-coated candy apple, use a separate recipe entry covering both fruit and coating. Exclude the stick and inedible core from the weight.

The Fuji apple calculation also uses edible weight after removing the core and stem. Golden’s 169 g medium-apple reference should not be assigned to every Fuji apple.

Sugars, fibre and the missing vitamin value

Per 100 grams, carbohydrate is 13.6 grams and fibre is 2.4 grams. Total sugars are 10.04 grams, rising to about 16.97 grams in the 169-gram reference apple. Sugars are part of total carbohydrate, so the two figures must not be added together. Protein is 0.28 grams per 100 grams.

Vitamin A is reported as 3 micrograms RAE. Vitamin C is unreported in this cultivar-specific record. That does not mean the fruit contains none; a value from another apple has not been inserted to fill the gap.

Does its sweetness make it unsuitable for a diet?

Golden Delicious can be one of your fruit choices. A sweet taste alone does not make it unsuitable for weight management. If you eat it with yoghurt or nuts, count those amounts as part of the snack. Colour, sweetness or one vitamin cannot establish the healthiest apple for everyone.

For diabetes, fit the amount of fruit to the individual carbohydrate plan. Whether one or two apples is appropriate depends on their size and the rest of the day's food. Fibre content does not guarantee a particular blood-glucose response. For ways to pair fruit with other foods, see these practical snack combinations.
