Juicing and Removing Pulp - Nutrition Stats

MagdaSea

Hi guys,

Just a quick question to those who make their own juice or even recipes and then use the recipe calculator on this site.

Let's say that after you've entered all of you ingredients, your juice comes out too 250 calories (x carbs, x protein, etc, etc) but then you remove a good percent of the pulp. How do I calculate for this? Is this food lab level calculation?

Thanks very much!

Use an entry for juice, no pulp.

The juice is the high sugar stuff, the pulp is the fibrous stuff. You are much better off consuming the pulp as well. Consider this: http://www.health.com/nutrition/juice-vs-smoothie

^^^this x 1000 . This is why doctors are starting to advise parents limiting their kid's fruit juice consumption; it's mostly just the fruit's sugar and calories without the beneficial fibers. Might as well be drinking any other sugary drink.
