Just an FYI......if you plug the same ingredients into both http://www.juicerecipes.com/build/ and http://myphytos.com/build, you get completely different results. However, both the "solid" nutrition info on juicerecipes.com and the "juice" nutrition info on myphytos.com are pretty much the same. If you look at the bottom of the "Juice Nutrition" on myphytos.com, you will see this:
*Juice Nutrition Facts are based on pre-juiced nutrition data.
I used the same ingredient calories and fiber as I did in both the above sites to manually add up each, then times the total grams of fiber by 4, then subtracted that from the total calories and got a completely different calorie count (for juiced, NOT solid) then I did on juicerecipes.com. In fact, it was much higher. On juicerecipes.com, my "solid" calories totaled 254 and "juiced" totaled 145. That's a HUGE difference! Doing it manually my "solid" calories totaled 254 and "juiced" totaled 206.
So, does anyone know which is correct? Do I trust juicerecipes.com or the manual method? I sent an email to juicerecipes.com asking them how "juiced" calories were figured on their website and I will post their reply (if I get one). In the meantime, I will be confused and just use the "solid" calories as my total calories! My doctor recommend either re-running the pulp through the juicer or just adding it (blending) into my juice.0 -

Thank you for posting the myphytos link... that is a fantastic resource! I recently started juicing and had no idea how many calories were involved. That juicing calculator is super easy to use. Thanks again.0

Actually, if you don't feel like counting all of that, there's a website on which you can 'build' your own juice, and it tells you all the nutrition facts in both juiced and solid fruits and veggies, which I find great. http://juicerecipes.com/build/0

Maybe it's because some veggies have negative calories? I dunno I'm kinda guessing here0

This link is awesome for figuring out calories and nutritional info of your juice!!!0 -
@live777 You're correct on the calories getting lower, I just wanted to point out that it's because it's calculating for approx 8oz, so the amount of servings go up. So if you were drinking the entire recipe you would basically multiply that number whatever the servings end up being!0

Wonderful, thank you!!0
