How many calories are in a Pink Lady apple?
A medium Pink Lady apple weighs 154 g on the produce label and carries 80 calories. Per 100 g the raw fruit runs 52 calories. Nearly all of that is carbohydrate: 21.3 g in one apple, and 3.7 g of it is fiber, which is 13% of a day's Daily Value.
You'd need to walk about 16 minutes to burn the 80 calories in one medium apple (154 g).

Pink Lady apple quick facts
There is no Cripps Pink or Pink Lady entry in USDA FoodData Central. The record that matches what you are holding is SR Legacy 171688, "Apples, raw, with skin", and the match is not a guess: every US retail bag of Pink Lady apples with a nutrition panel prints 52 calories per 100 g and 80 calories for a 154 g medium apple, which is 171688 to the decimal. Wegmans Pink Lady Apples, Ahold, Meijer, Wellsley Farms Organic and Nature's Promise Organic all carry the identical panel.
One other USDA row tempts people: the survey record Apple, raw (FNDDS 2709215) lists 61 calories per 100 g. That is a composite built from newer, sweeter cultivars in national diet surveys, and it does not match a single Pink Lady label in a US store. The table below stays with the label number.
| Nutrient | Per 100 g | Per 1 medium apple (154 g) | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 52 | 80 | — |
| Total fat | 0.17 g | 0.3 g | 0% |
| Saturated fat | 0.03 g | 0.0 g | 0% |
| Carbohydrate | 13.81 g | 21.3 g | 8% |
| Dietary fiber | 2.4 g | 3.7 g | 13% |
| Total sugars | 10.39 g | 16.0 g | — |
| Protein | 0.26 g | 0.4 g | 1% |
| Sodium | 1 mg | 2 mg | 0% |

Two rows you will not find here. Added sugars is absent because SR Legacy does not publish it for this record, and a raw apple has none to publish. Cholesterol is zero. Potassium is worth a line: 107 mg per 100 g, or 165 mg in a medium apple, about 4% of the 4,700 mg Daily Value, so an apple is a mild potassium source rather than a real one. The 2 mg of sodium is a rounding error next to the 2,300 mg daily figure.
US serving sizes for a Pink Lady apple
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28 g | 15 kcal |
| 1 cup slices | 109 g | 57 kcal |
| 1 small apple, 2-3/4 in | 149 g | 77 kcal |
| 1 medium apple, produce label | 154 g | 80 kcal |
| 1 medium apple, 3 in, USDA | 182 g | 95 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 52 kcal |
The cup, the small apple and both mediums are USDA household measures for record 171688. The ounce row is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not a USDA serving, and it is there because bagged slices and fruit trays are sold by weight.
The cup line is the one that trips people. A cup of slices is 109 g, which is 45 g less apple than a whole medium fruit, so it lands at 57 calories, 23 below the whole apple. Slicing an apple into a bowl and calling it "a cup" therefore undercounts by 23 calories, and logging "one apple" while eating two cups undercounts by more.
Peeled apples and bagged slices
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pink Lady, raw with skin | 52 kcal | 1 medium, 154 g | 80 kcal |
| Peeled, USDA 171689 | 48 kcal | 1 medium peeled, 161 g | 77 kcal |
| Bagged slices, Country Fresh | 50 kcal | 12 slices, 140 g | 70 kcal |
Peeling is the interesting one. Calories barely move, from 52 to 48 per 100 g, because the skin is not where the sugar lives. Fiber is a different story: 2.4 g per 100 g with the skin, 1.3 g without it. On a medium peeled apple that works out to about 2.1 g of fiber, roughly 7% of the Daily Value against 13% for the same fruit unpeeled — our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figures. If you peel apples for kids or for a pie, you are throwing away close to half the fiber and keeping almost all of the calories.
Packaged Pink Lady slices sit slightly lower per 100 g, at 50 calories, because the core and stem are gone before the bag is filled. A 140 g bag of twelve slices is 70 calories. Sliced fruit sold in a cup with caramel dip is a different food entirely, and the dip is where the calories are.
Two mediums 15 calories apart
The word "medium" means two different apples depending on who printed it. Retail nutrition panels on Pink Lady bags use 154 g and 80 calories. USDA's own household measure for a medium apple, 3 inches across, is 182 g and 95 calories. Same word, 28 g and 15 calories apart.
Neither is wrong. The label serving is a legal reference amount; the USDA measure is a physical fruit that was actually weighed. Pink Lady apples in US stores tend to be sold small to medium, and the 154 g figure is what the panel in front of you promises, so that is the number this page leads with. If your apple is a big one that fills your hand, log the 182 g row instead. The honest range for one Pink Lady apple is roughly 77 to 95 calories, and a kitchen scale settles it in three seconds.
What the daily values say
Fiber is the row that earns an apple its reputation. A medium Pink Lady delivers 3.7 g, or 13% of the 28 g Daily Value set by the FDA. Most Americans fall short of that 28 g target, and one apple covers an eighth of it for 80 calories, which is a better fiber-per-calorie trade than most snacks that advertise fiber on the front of the box.
Sugar is where people get nervous. A medium apple holds 16.0 g of total sugars. Total sugars carry no Daily Value on the US label, and this is the reason: the 50 g limit on the panel applies to added sugars, and a raw apple has none. The sugar in a Pink Lady arrives wrapped in 3.7 g of fiber and about 130 g of water, which is not the same delivery system as the same 16 g in a soda.
Protein is negligible at 0.4 g, and fat is 0.3 g, of which almost nothing is saturated. If you are building a snack to hold you until dinner, an apple alone is a 15-minute fix; MyPlate's fruit guidance pairs it with a protein source, and an apple with a tablespoon of peanut butter is the standard version of that pairing.
How does a Pink Lady apple compare?
| Apple | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pink Lady, generic raw with skin | 52 kcal | 1 medium, 154 g | 80 kcal |
| Gala | 57 kcal | 1 medium, 172 g | 98 kcal |
| Granny Smith | 58 kcal | 1 medium, 167 g | 97 kcal |
| Red Delicious | 59 kcal | 1 medium, 212 g | 125 kcal |
Our take: the cultivar barely matters, but the size of the fruit does. Across these four rows the spread per 100 g is 52 to 59 calories, a difference you could not taste or measure at home. The spread per fruit is 80 to 125 calories, and that gap is mostly the 212 g Red Delicious being a bigger apple than the 154 g Pink Lady, not a sweeter one. Read the weight, not the sticker. And treat the 52 against 57 to 59 comparison with a light hand: the Pink Lady row is USDA's generic with-skin record, while the others are cultivar-specific records, so part of that five-calorie edge is bookkeeping rather than fruit.

Pink Lady apple FAQs
How many calories are in a Pink Lady apple?
80 calories in a medium Pink Lady apple of 154 g, the serving printed on US retail bags from Wegmans, Meijer, Ahold and others. That works out to 52 calories per 100 g. A larger 182 g apple, USDA's own medium, comes to 95 calories, and a small 149 g one to 77.
How many carbs are in a Pink Lady apple?
21.3 g of carbohydrate in a 154 g medium apple, which is 8% of the Daily Value, from 13.81 g per 100 g. Fiber accounts for 3.7 g of that total, so the net figure people track for low-carb eating is about 17.6 g. Protein and fat are under half a gram each.
How much sugar is in a Pink Lady apple?
16.0 g of total sugars in a medium 154 g apple, from 10.39 g per 100 g. None of it is added sugar, so it does not count against the 50 g added-sugars Daily Value on the US label. Total sugars have no Daily Value of their own, which is why that cell stays blank on the panel.
How much fiber does a Pink Lady apple have?
3.7 g of fiber in a medium 154 g apple, 13% of the 28 g Daily Value, from 2.4 g per 100 g. Peel it and that drops to roughly 2.1 g, because USDA's without-skin record lists only 1.3 g per 100 g. The skin holds close to half the fiber and almost none of the calories.
Are Pink Lady apples good for weight loss?
At 80 calories and 3.7 g of fiber, a medium Pink Lady is one of the cheapest filling snacks in the produce aisle. Bulk is the reason: 154 g of fruit, mostly water and fiber, for the calories of half a granola bar. Pair it with a protein source if it needs to hold you until a meal.
Pink Lady vs Gala apple calories?
52 calories per 100 g for the generic with-skin record that matches Pink Lady labels, against 57 for USDA's Gala record. Per fruit the gap widens to 80 against 98, mostly because USDA's medium Gala weighs 172 g and the Pink Lady label serving is 154 g. Weigh both and about half the gap disappears.
Do Pink Lady apples have more sugar than Granny Smith?
Yes, by 0.8 g per 100 g: 10.39 g against 9.59 g for USDA's Granny Smith record. Per fruit the two land in the same place, near 16.0 g each, because a medium Granny Smith weighs 167 g to the Pink Lady's 154 g. That per-fruit figure is our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g values.
How many calories in a cup of sliced Pink Lady apple?
57 calories in one cup of slices, which USDA weighs at 109 g. That is 23 calories under a whole 154 g apple, because a cup holds less fruit than most people assume. A 140 g bag of twelve pre-cut slices is 70 calories, slightly lower per gram since the core is already gone.
