diet; however, some apples contain more carbs than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An average medium-sized gala apple contains 20g of net carbs, so using the example where someone is trying to stay under 20g of net carbs per day, one medium gala apple would come at the cost of all their daily allowance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gala apples are a higher-carb apple when compared to green apples, which are slightly lower due to the fact they contain less sugar. So if you&rsquo;re following a low-carb diet and you can&rsquo;t live without apples, opt for a small green apple over a gala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that, although a gala apple is relatively high in carbs, an apple is a healthy and nutritious snack for anyone who isn&rsquo;t following a low-carb diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&rsquo;ve found the answer you were looking for on this page; here&rsquo;s a quick rundown of the key points: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For those on a low-carb diet, a gala apple would be considered fairly high in carbs at over 20g of net carbs per medium apple. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A gala apple is one of the highest-carb apples because it contains more natural sugars than most.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If you&rsquo;re on a low-carb diet and you can&rsquo;t live without apples, opt for a small green apple (such as a golden delicious) instead.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-base-2-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Related Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This page is part of a series of useful articles on the carb content in apples and foods containing apples.
