Juicing @ Home

I have several juicing recipes that I make in my Breville at home. How do you accurately account for calories? If I put in all of the ingredients, the calories are crazy high. Any and all guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

    That would be because generally juice is high calorie. Concentrated sugars from fruit and all. One of the many reasons not to bother with it.

    googled and found a website that tells how to calculate the calories: thesweeterthejuice.com/how-many-calories-are-in-my-juice/ Hope it helps. I tried juicing briefly (I think I only made it 2 days) but I know several people who do quite well with it.

    Put in all the calories and log those crazily high calories

    My wife tried to juice but now the Jack Llanelli juicer is an expensive recipe holder after 2 weeks.
    I do know you need to stay away from high glycemic fruits (OJ) & vegetables. You can also add some wheat germ and/or psyllium that will increase the fiber and also thicken the drink.

    yup, put in all the calories. juicing has almost the same calories as the original food, and none of the fibre, so if you juice 2 oranges and an apple, you won't get much juice but you'll get 3 fruit's worth of calories.

    not saying there's anything wrong with juicing, just that yeah, for the size of the end product, it's crazy high in calories.
