If you are juicing...

I'd like to know that too. I have a "green smoothie" recipe and when I put all the ingredients in, my carbs added up very quickly (banana/apple in it, plus other veggies.) Anyway... this is new to me. Just trying it out to see if it can help my nutrition and weight loss.

I'm probably not the best to answer this, but I use a Vitamix so I do count the entire fruit.

If you're only extracting juice and not consuming the pulp and the meat, I honestly think you're missing some of the fantastic benefits of the green smoothie. But I won't get my soapbox out yet.

To keep it very straight forward, I think you'd need to juice the fruit and measure that - for each fruit. Then enter the stats for that juice.

I did find this information and thought it useful, plagiarized from the net:


ORANGES
One 8-oz. glass of orange juice has close to 2.5 times the sugar and just one-third the fiber of a typical piece of fruit. The stats from caloriecounter.com: the small juice contains 112 calories, 0.1 g dietary fiber, and 20.8 g sugar, while the fruit has 45 calories, 2.3 g dietary fiber, and 9 g sugar.

APPLES
An 8-oz. apple juice has roughly twice the sugar but less than one-tenth the fiber of a medium-sized apple. The stats: juice has 120 calories, 0.3 g dietary fiber, and 27.2 g sugar; the fruit has 72 calories, 3.3 g dietary fiber, and 14.3 g sugar.


GRAPES
A glass of grape juice contains — once again — about 2.5 times as much sugar as the same volume of fruit (one cup of grapes), although with about half as much fiber. The stats: juice has 154 calories, 0.3 g dietary fiber, and 37.6 g sugar; a cup of grapes has 62 calories, 0.8 g dietary fiber, and 15 g sugar.


PINEAPPLES
An 8-oz. juice has not quite twice the sugar contained in the same volume of fruit (one cup of diced pineapple), with roughly one quarter the fiber . The stats: juice has 140 calories, 0.5 g dietary fiber, and 34 g sugar; a cup of fruit has 74 calories, 2.2 g dietary fiber, and 14.4 g sugar.
