Hi
Does anyone know an easy way of counting the calories and other stats when it comes to making juices? I often juice apple, kale, cucumber, spinach, celery, lemon and ginger but I'm never sure what the vital facts are - carbs, fat & protein.

    Take what you started with and subtract out the fiber.

    there are tools on the internet that estimate the juice composition. About 1/3 of the mass of the ingredients becomes pulp.

    https://juicerecipes.com/build/ is one such thing.

    As a rule of thumb, add up the calories and macros for everying that goes into the juicer, then knock off 4 KCal for each gram of the residue you dont consume to account for the lost fibre. The fat and protein tends to be negligable and the carbs are the total carbs minus carbs from fibre.

    Thanks.
    I've used Juicerecpies.com with some success but it does seem long winded to enter all the ingredients. Just thought there might be a simpler way of doing it.
