We are using them as meal replacements but we are also keeping the pulp to use for things like in our veggie meatball etc. We still get 100% fiber. We're just trying to start getting more veggies in our diet. And we are in such a hurry for those.two meals that it's usually fast food or processed meals.

OP, the point is that juice is not a meal replacement. There is no protein, no fat, no fiber in juice. Unless you are drinking the juice alongside food, it is basically sugar water with lots of vitamins in it. You need more than that to fuel your body, especially if you are physically active. It seems like you are set on using it as a meal replacement though, so I would say you should log the whole fruit or veggie you put in, since the fiber contains very little if any calories.

I used to have a juicer, and for me it was easier to just figure out how to sneak more veggies into what I was already eating. Now I like them and eat plenty. It was too much work to set up the machine, prep the produce, juice, then clean everything up, just for a glass of juice! In that same amount of time, I could prep veggies for salads, stir fries, and snacks for the week...
