Fresh Apricot Nutrition Facts for a Three-Fruit Portion

Fresh apricots and dried apricots share a name but need different nutrition references. This card focuses on fresh raw fruit and a clearly defined edible portion. It can help with everyday snack planning on a walking day without suggesting that a certain fruit is necessary for a walk. The main lesson is to match the form of the food and the amount actually eaten. Three reference apricots, totaling 105 grams of edible raw fruit, provide approximately 50 calories, 11.7 grams of total carbohydrate, and 2.1 grams of fiber. These are rounded values based on a USDA household measure. Real apricots vary in size, so a count of three does not always produce exactly this weight. The gram amount is the more useful anchor when comparing your own portion. The source is USDA FoodData Central food 171697, “Apricots, raw.” Per 100 grams, it lists 48 calories, 11.1 grams of carbohydrate, and 2 grams of dietary fiber. USDA lists one apricot at 35 grams of edible fruit. Three such portions total 105 grams, and multiplying the nutrient values by 1.05 gives the example shown here.

This avoids including the weight of parts that will be discarded. If your apricots are especially large or small, record the measured amount rather than assuming the reference count is exact. Halving the fruit changes its appearance, but not the total amount of edible flesh. For an ordinary snack, fresh apricots can be served alone or alongside another food that fits your preferences. The image gives only the apricot values; it does not calculate a combined snack or set a schedule for eating before or after activity. A walking routine and food choices belong to a wider daily pattern, and one fruit portion does not predict a particular weight result. Use a separate label or reference for dried, canned, or sweetened apricots. Drying changes the water content, while syrup or other ingredients can change a prepared product. A dried-fruit portion should not be logged using the same count and values as this fresh-fruit example. Checking the food description before copying the numbers is a small step that prevents a much larger mismatch. Save this card when you want a clear fresh-fruit serving reference. It is not an exercise calorie conversion or a claim that a snack needs to be offset by walking. The related wellness supplement is a separate catalog recommendation, not an apricot ingredient or a source of the nutrition facts presented in this post. #WalkingRoutine #Apricots #NutritionFacts #FreshFruit #PortionControl
