calories in an apple

When MFP says there are X number of calories in 150g of gala apple, does that mean 150g of edible portion of the apple?

For example, say I weigh my apple before coring and it is 150g. MFP says an apple weighing 150g is 100 calories.

After I core my apple and re weight it, it comes out to 100 grams. Is that still 100 calories, or is it 75?

    I only count what I consume. So I'd weigh the core and subtract, same way I weigh the bones after I eat chops and subtract them too. If it doesn't go in my body, it doesn't go on my tracker.

    Only log what you actually eat. You don't eat the core, so subtract that. :)

    I would like to know if there is much of a calorie difference between the different varieties of apples.
