Well when i enter it in fitday, one small apple says 16g of carbs, and 3g's of fibre. medium is 21g's of carbs, 4g of fibre.

Here's another good carb counter that was posted by cmcole: http://dom.bz/mbrs/carbcount.xls

on this one, 1 small apple shows as 14gs of carbs, 3g of fibre.

Does this help? I'd say for half a small apple it would average about 7g's of carbs and 1 or 2 g's of fibre?

When I added fruit I started with 1/2 small (3.5 inch diameter) grapefruit. Per fitday it's 7 net carbs for that portion. Not the exact five carb portion but I did stay in ketosis and it is a normal sized portion that's easy to stick with. Also the glycemic index is super low (25 I think).
