Apple plus peanut butter: calculated portions
| Edible apple | Peanut butter | Approx. kcal |

| 182 g | 16 g | 190 |

Keep the apple; measure the spread
These examples use raw apple with skin at 52 kcal per 100 g and smooth unsalted peanut butter at 598 kcal per 100 g. Weigh only the edible apple. The spoon measures below mean 16 g, not a heaped household spoon.
For a larger, more filling snack, keep more apple rather than assuming the smallest fruit is always best. Both foods can fit your day; change the spread portion according to appetite and the rest of your meals.

Frequently asked questions
Is apple with peanut butter a low-calorie snack?
It depends on the portion. The 150 g apple plus 16 g spread example is about 174 kcal; doubling the spread raises it to about 269 kcal.
Should I count peanut butter left on the spoon?
Log what you eat. Scrape the measured amount onto the apple or use the jar weight difference; do not add a second spoon entry for the same spread.
