    That was a true hug @Alatariel75.
    As I was handing you a calming beverage of your choice :)

    Cheers, h.

    Yeah, they have some (depending on the fruit), not huge amounts. 100 calories of apple (about 192 g) = 26.5 g carbs, and 4.5 g fiber.

    As those carbs would be 106 calories, and there's a little protein too (about 2 calories) and a tiny bit of fat (3 cal), I assume the cals for the fiber are discounted some anyway.

    Also, everything discussed in the thread about TEF and so on.
