Can you eat an apple on a low carb diet?

Answer 2

Fruits are high in carbohydrates but are good for you, and should be a part of your diet. Most vegetables are low in carbohydrates, unless they are starchy, such as potatoes or corn. Both categories are better choices than refined sugars.

Answer 3

Yes you could, but grapefruit is a relatively high carbohydrate fruit and not usually included in a low carb diet unless in very small amounts.

For example, there are 27 carbohydrates in a large grapefruit (4½" diameter), 20½ carbohydrates in a medium grapefruit (3¾" diameter) and 16 carbohydrates in a small grapefruit (3½" diameter).
