Maybe that person was doing Weight Watchers.
wasn't really the question tho...
The question was does eating and digesting the apple negate the calories it does have and the answer is
No...

Well, the question's already been answered so I won't say anything about that.
I will, however, say that I'm jealous of all of you who are getting in the really good Honeycrisps. So far, the ones that have shown up locally have been pretty small and beat up looking. Still tasty, but slim pickings.1 -
I bought 2 nice ones last night but I'm in Oregon so that helps!
They are large so each is 2 servings lol - oh wait that's for a different thread!6 -
No apples are not zero calorie.
I would definitely log them.0 -

I won't tell you that I bought 60 pounds of HUGE and perfect Honeycrisps for $.50/lbs then5 -

I hope that newbies to MFP that may find their way to this thread do not misunderstand this.
Of course when I saw it myself I had to look, not sure what to say honestly except .. just no!1 -
Eat raw broccoli. It is close to being a free food.17

Congratulations! You just bought yourself approximately 14000 calories worth of "zero calorie" foodstuffs.17 -
Honey Crisp apples are my absolute favorite!1

Wow they are $2.99/lb here usually $3.99/lb. At the bent and dent they are .70/lb but they are bruised so not great for keeping in the fridge.
Enjoy! I bought a lot last April, set my fridge on a low setting and they are still good!0 -
The person writing that blog is completely wrong and I'm sad for anyone who buys into it. By that logic, someone trapped with nothing to eat but apples and all those other supposedly zero calorie foods would starve to death as fast as if they didn't eat at all. Does that seem even vaguely logical?
I'm having a down day and her site has made me depressed for humanity. The internet has done wonders, but it's also unleashed some complete morons into the public sphere.16 -
I would just turn all those apples into unsweetened applesauce and weigh it out by the oz with my meals but that's just me. The only thing I know to be 0 calorie is water.

medium apples are roughly 80 calories each...thats not 0. 1lb is 236 calories0

I am all about that honeycrisp life. U-pick time near me was Sunday and I got 1/2 bushel for $25. Sounds like you got a great deal!1

This is utterly silly. And something without a crust is not a pie. It just isn't. By definition, IT IS NOT A PIE. It can be a dessert. In this case, most likely baked and spiced apple slices. But IT IS NOT A PIE.
And it has calories, all apples have calories, and no, you don't spend very many calories chewing or digesting them; you get far more out from the digestion of the carbohydrates in the apples. I think it comes out to between 80-100 calories / apple for most apples (size depending, some can push 150).10
