Calories in soup

I had a can of soup today for lunch. There are 80 calories in each serving and 2 servings per can. I only ate the veggies and meat, but no broth... does anyone know how I would figure out the calories?

Why did you skip the broth? Sodium? Because the meat & veggies have been soaking in it - making them chock full o' sodium as well....

I'd just put the whole calorie amount in and let it go.

Broth has almost no calories. 1C of standard chicken broth has 5 calories. I would count the full portion, personally.

Agree with the top two. It'll knocked your sodium down but you ate the "calorie" part of it unless it is a cream-based soup which at 160 per can, it was probably fair to say it was more broth than anything else.

I wouldn't worry about it and just claim the calories on the can with or without the broth .You are complicating it.If you go over by 20 calories isn't gonna make that much of a difference as long as you have a general idea I think you should be right where you should be.If anything your just having lower sodium by taking the juice out .

I am sure the calories in the broth aren't very high, I would count it all. Even if you did save, what 5-15 calories, honestly what is 5-15 calories in the grand scheme of things.

Also the broth will help you fill up. I'd eat and count it next time.

The calories are in the meat and veg...the broth is pretty much negligible...just log the whole amount.

Unless the soup is cream based, the broth is going to contain very few of the calories. Not enough to worry about.

Ok thanks, I didn't eat the broth because for some reason it makes me gag.
