Common Questions About Applesauce pouch Nutrition
Is applesauce high in protein?
Applesauce is not high in protein; a typical pouch of unsweetened applesauce contains less than 1 gram of protein per serving. It is primarily composed of carbohydrates and naturally occurring sugars from apples.
Can I eat applesauce on a keto diet?
Applesauce is generally not suitable for a keto diet because it is high in carbohydrates. A standard pouch contains around 15 to 20 grams of net carbs, depending on the brand and whether sugars are added.
What are the health benefits or concerns of eating applesauce?

One pouch of applesauce, typically containing around 3.2 to 4 ounces (90–120 grams), is considered a standard serving. This provides approximately 60–100 calories, depending on whether it is sweetened or unsweetened.
How does applesauce compare to eating a whole apple?
