How would you add juicing nutritional info?

gostumpy

Obviously the fruit changes when you juice it, how should I be entering it? I found this site:http://www.juicingcollection.com/juicing-calculator/ that has a calculator to find the info, but adding each individual item is a bit cumbersome...

But I don't want to just add calories and miss out on the macro aspect..

Thoughts?

By juicing, people miss out on the opportunity for fiber -- the parts of the fruits and veggies that help us feel satiated.

I have a Nutribullet and I just add calories for individual veg

Are you able to weigh out the veggie/fruit one by one, then weigh out the pulp one by one and subtract from the recipe? Assuming you don't eat the pulp. The nutritional info for things with and without the skin shouldn't be significantly different enough to bother with.

more specifically, http://myphytos.com/build -> weigh and enter all your fruits and veggies -> log on MFP using "my foods" -> done

Yes I do agree with you juice is very essential for our body as it provide the fiber to our body and veggies provide iron to our body.

Except that Roda said that juicing removes the very thing you say is essential for our body.

It doesn't remove all the fiber, it removes most. I am juicing in addition to other things I eat for Fiber so the loss of fiber is not a big deal

The main benefit of juice is being able to take in *most* of the nutrients from an amount of vegetables that could not otherwise be consumed. As well, those vitamins and nutrients are immediately put into the bloodstream, and giving your digestive system a break.
