Im not sure how to actually calculate my calories when I juice my fruits and veggies... I have been entering in the whole fruit or vegetable. But I am not eating the fruit or the skin only the juice... Does anyone know how this should be calculated. I have looked up juice apple ex... nothing is helping... Give me some ideas... other then that I am counting that im having more calories and sugar then I am.

doesn't have to be exact on such things.. you will never get exact any how.. just measure it by the size of fruit pre-juice like you are already doing.1

Weigh what you put in the juicer, weigh the pulp, subtract the difference.1

I use the recipe thing on here I measure it by cups or the whole fruit/veggie..0

I did a reboot program and this was challenging for me as well, so the only way it worked for me was to measure everything on the scale. so if you do eliminate the skin then try to calculate this without the skin maybe say a small apple opposed to a large one or build the recipes was one way too. So if I did 1 apple, celery, cucumber and juiced it then I measure it in oz what I was actually going to drink. If it measure out to be 16 oz and I only drank 8 then I would build the recipes and say how much it yielded, then say how much I actually drank. It added up and I did see the difference in building my own recipes.1 -
When I juice it's a pretty generic veggie juice with carrots, celery and various kinds of lettuce, maybe an apple. I went through the database and averaged out what a typical homemade juice was and came up with about 85 to 90 cals per cup. That is on the high side, but I always figure it's best to over estimate food and under estimate the exercise.0

Add all the calories of the whole fruit/vegetables.
Add all the fiber of the whole fruit/vegetables.
Multiply the total amount of fiber by 4 (calories per gram).
Subtract the fiber calories from the total number of calories.
That's your juice number!
Mine is about 90 calories, 51 g carbs, 11 g protein per cup.
1 carrot
1 celery
2 small Fuji apples
1 large coin of ginger
1/2 cucumber
2 cups kale
huge bunch of parsley
huge bunch of wheat grass (I grow my own)
1/2 lemon or lime0 -

Thank you this was very helpful cause I drink about 3.5 cups for breakfast and that includes cucumbers, carrots, berries, 2 apples, ex...

Great site that calculates the amt based on what you put in the juice.....................0 -
You're only throwing away the fiber of the fruits/veggies (which by the way you need to eat for proper bowel health) which is virtually calorieless. The poster above is way off on her juice calories. 2 apples alone is well over 100 calories.0
