Any suggestions about calculating calories etc in juicing in MFP?

    Fruit and vegetable juices are low in calories.
    Prob uder 100-200 per juice depending how big or how small

    Don't juice. Keep the fiber :)

    That depends. It takes a lot of fruit to make a glass of juice. It's more satiating if you just eat the whole fruit. If you're only adding an apple and the rest are greens or something, that would be less calories, but you're still leaving out a bunch of the good filling stuff and mainly just consuming calories.

    OP, I would log the whole fruits and vegetables you use before you juice them, and I suggest only using them as a supplement to your diet and not for something silly like a cleanse or detox.

    Thank you. I juice mostly veggies. I throw in some fruit for a bit of flavor but mostly greens and other veggies (i.e. Parsnip, beets, etc). It's the first thing I consume in the morning. Goes right into your bloodstream and there's a wide range of benefits. I do however ensure I consume the fiber I need daily.

    On another note. I did find a website that calculates the nutrition of juicing and linked it to the MFP app. So worked perfectly.

    I do have another question though..... There is no option for a hot yoga class. I take a 75 min class and went on a few websites to get approximate calories burned. Some went anywhere from 500-540 some even went higher dependent on class taken (i.e. Burn, etc)

    Can you tell us which app and how you linked it? I'm trying to do the same thing.

    For my calories, for say, walking in the pool, which MFP doesn't have, I looked up several sites and compared them, then calculated from there and created my own exercise which is easy to do. Doing that worked--I ate back all of my exercise calories and I lost weight. Now I have a wearable which calculates calories a bit better, but it's pretty close even so.
