OK, I started having juice for breakfast and yesterday I just picked total cals because I didn't know how to work them out....
So today I did the working out and, if I'm correct, for breakfast my total cals was -611cals.
Here is the breakdown....
Carrots > 279g > 115cal
Apple > 478g > 254 cal
Total cal = 369 cal
Weight of fibre = 245g
cals of fibre = 245 * 4 = 980 cals there is 4 cals in 1g of fibre.....
To get total cals of juice you need to take the fibre cals from the ingredients cals...
369 - 980 = -611
Here is the site where I found out how to work out the cals in juicing..

Just drink your juice and use the food data base to count calories BY VOLUME.
1 cup of apple juice ect,
Close enough.0 -
Not really. Yes, you burn calories digesting and chewing. Yes, you eat calories when food enters your body. No, fiber rich foods, celery, apples, whatever-else-is-listed-as-negative-calorie are not magical and do not use superpowers to make themselves calorie free.
the fact is you use up a few calories to live
you eat a few calories cause you are hungry
this + that = energy. try to have exactly enough energy or sometimes less ( if you want to lose weight) than you need to use that day.
This is where BMR, TDEE come in. Look them up and really understand what you are doing0 -
No, you drank 369 calories. :huh:0

I don't think that there are 245 grams of fiber in your recipe. I think that's where your math is off.0

Eating something and expecting it to sap energy(rather than give it to you) from your body is nonsense.0

Hahaha....yeppers. Mine too.0 -
I'm not sure why you are subtracting the fiber from the calories...the only time I know of that you're supposed to do that is when you're counting carbs. You subtract the total grams of fiber from the grams of carbs to get net carbs. Is that what you're thinking of? As a side note, I would add some protein to your breakfasts. Just having juice would get me hungry real fast, plus protein helps in weight loss. (my unasked for two cents
)

If there is 245g of fiber in your juice, it is not juice. You do not chew juice.0

A. You are no supposed to subtract calories from fiber.
B. There's no way your breakfast had 245grams of fiber.0 -
I think some of that juice must of fermented into wine. :laugh:0
