Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For apple juice (unsweetened) the split is:
- Protein: 0.1 g × 4 = 0 kcal — 1% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 11.3 g × 4 = 45 kcal — 97% of calories
- Fat: 0.1 g × 9 = 1 kcal — 3% of calories
- Most of the energy in apple juice (unsweetened) comes from carbohydrate (97% of calories).
- 9.6 g of its carbohydrate per 100 g is sugar.
- It is 88% water, which is why it is so light for its size.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 435 g.
What actually changes the number
Apple juice is 46 kcal per 100 ml even unsweetened — a glass is about 115 kcal, a child's 200 ml carton 90. It is nutritionally close to soda, with a better reputation.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of apple juice as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
