I just bought a juicer and I'm in love. It's a great way to get tons of nutrients in easily. HOWEVER, I like to track my calories and nutrients here on MFP, but don't know how to go about doing it. Obviously, since all the pulp is gone, a juiced cucumber/apple/mango/whatever isn't going to be the same as a whole one.
How do all you juicers out there go about logging your juice?
Thanks in advance~

replace the juicer with a blender
(I want the whole thing, not just the sugar water inside it)

I make occasional batches of juice, and if I go for accurate logging, I take the grams of fiber in the fruit, multiply by 4, then subtract that from the total number of calories in the juice (by doing a quick-add negative calories). Unfortunately, there is no quick add fiber, so I remind myself to up my fiber by the number lost in the juice.0

I agree with seamonster120. You definitely don't want to remove all the pulp. That's the fiber that is so good for you! Use a blender or better yet, return the juicer and get a Vitamix. Much healthier. If you use all of the fruit and veggies then it will be easy to make a recipe to get your nutrients and calories.0

chezjuan had a good suggestion about calculation. I'm glad you're enjoying your new juicer. After tasting entirely fresh homemade juice, I will never go back to buying it in the store again. And I love the freedom of being able to manipulate the ingredients to make it the perfect beverage to go with whatever I'm having for breakfast.0
