I've got a little homework for you rust.

Go to the carb counter and look at all the nutrition counts for 1 medium apple. Then, have a look at 10 oz. raw spinach.

What do you find?

It is better to have an apple or whatever with low-glycemic delivery. Something that causes the least insulin spike.

You're new to LC and have to be careful. An indulgence here, a little bit there can quickly lead to every day and then you're falling down the slippery slope.

That being said, men can get away with a lot more than women on this WOE. If you want to eat apples and stuff, do it carefully by incorporating certain things into your plan and watching how you react.
