Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but I have no idea how to log my juicer juices since I don't follow a recipe. I want to know not only my calories but also the nutritional value of what I had! Thanks in advance!!!

    Hard to be 100% accurate, but I personally log the entire fruit and vegetable. You're essentially getting all of the calorie from the produce. You just aren't getting any of the fiber.

    You could weigh the juice. Vegetable juice from tomatoes and greens is about 45 calories per 8 oz. Fruit juice is more like 110 calories per 8 oz. Carrot/root juice is about 80 calories per 8 oz. of juice.

    Has this improved? I have been using the juice builder recipe but I don't know how to transfer it over to MFP while retaining all the nutrients. There is quite a difference in solid fruits/veggies and juiced ones.
