How to put Juicing into MFP?

My husband and I are both doing MFP and logging everything we eat good or bad. He started juicing today and was wondering if putting each individual item in was the way to go. Thanks

    You can get an average of the calorie counts for your fresh juice by going to a reputable nutrition or calorie counting site like nutriondata.com.

    There, you’ll want to find the calorie count (or nutrition data, if that’s what you are looking for, too) for each fruit or vegetable.
    List out the calories for each fruit or veggie on a paper, taking note of the fiber content.

    Add up the total calories.

    Every gram of fiber has about 4 calories. So you’ll want to multiply the fiber grams by 4 calories for each piece of produce. Then, subtract that from the total amount of calories that were in all of the produce.

    This will give you a pretty close estimate of the calorie counts for your juicing recipes.

    Hope that helps you!

    I just started yesterday - and I am having 2-3 juices/day!

    I found a great website for juice recipes and it also has the calorie/nutrition values on the recipes.

    This morning was the 'Beginner Green' I really liked it and so did my hubby.
