Fruit Cup Calories

fcasilio

Does anyone know if the calorie count on the back of a dole fruit cup container includes calories for the juice that the fruit is sitting in? I mean theoretically, I would imagine it contains the calorie count for everything in the cup including the juice, but I haven't been able to confirm.

Thanks in Advance.

Agreed.

OK, can't find anything to confirm online. On hold for Dole foods now

While not able to confirm definitively based on the nutrition label I would say yes it includes the juice... since it says in juice:

"There are 80 calories in a 1 container serving of Dole Mixed Fruit Cup in 100% Fruit Juice.
Calorie breakdown: 0% fat, 100% carbs, 0% protein."

Just a guess on my part though... good question

I think it's 120. For that much, it's better to eat a whole piece of fruit.

Just called Dole. The dole cup I have is 80 calories. The calorie count does include the juice and their guidance was to reduce the totals by a 1/3 if you don't consume the juice, which takes it down to around 50 calories.

my roomate eats though- I can't stomach them any more...

but I have the same questions about tuna- it always says 2 oz drained is approximately 1 serving (I always just eat the whole damn can anyway- seriously who eats half a can) but I never drain it- I like it that way. Always makes me wonder.

LOL I'd be interested to see what Dole themselves say!!!
