[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2731595, member: 517579"] It all depends on context. No food (in my opinion) is "healthy" in itself. That's just marketing. What does an apple do to your blood glucose level? You find that out by testing before eating and then at the two hour mark. Ideally your body will have dealt with the 20-25g carb by then, but it might not. That's what testing tells you. It might be too much for your system to handle, or it might not. Secondly, what is your current daily carb intake target? Mine is around 20g/day, so apples are never going to be part of what I eat. If you're aiming for eg 80g, or 120g, daily, you should be able to fit that apple into your plans. [/QUOTE]
