How do you log freshly juiced veggies?

ls_66

Had a really good juice (12 oz) made of kale, collards, celery, parsley and cucumbers my question is how many calories do I log?

MFP actually has decent pressed juice data already. I usually search for whichever fruit/veggie juice is likely have the most sugar and go from there. Last juice I did was apple, beet root, ginger, carrot and celery and I was able to find a "Apple, beet and carrot" pressed juice listing.

i just log each fruit and veggie seperately as if i were eating it.I am sure it's not completely accurate but close enough

The way I do mine is to type in the specific juiced item in the search box (example apple juice, carrot juice, broccoli juice, etc) and get as close to the data that fits what I'm doing (ie... juice of 1 apple, 1 stalk of broccoli, 1 kale leaf, etc.) Once I have all of my ingredients, I save it as a meal and title it (ie My Homemade Green Juice). This way, I'll have it in my database the next time I decide to do that particular juice recipe. I have stored several of my favorates this way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks...took me a few times until I figured out that was the best method for me. :-)

I do the same thing for mine

Bump; I didn't know you logged things differently when they're juiced, I would just log whatever I put in there.

Is it generally more or less calories than the solid foods?

well looks like I got some juicers to reply.... then let me ask what juicers are you using?

I would think Juicing calories are not the same as whole fruit/veggie calories because of the omission of fiber. (The juicer I have is the Breville JEXL800. I love it!)
