How do I log my juicing?

On Christmas I got a juicier and I’ve been a juicing fool ever since.  I have been juicing every fruit & vegetable I can buy.   I have now found my new love.  Now how do I log my juice creations on calorie count?  For example this morning I made a juice from 2 apples, 1 lemon, 1lime…but I didn’t eat two apples of 160 calories, I just had the juice of two apples. How do I log the calories?? Help

One of the drawbacks of juicing is that you get all the calories but lose out on the fiber. So 'yes' on calories, 'no' on the fiber for the entry. Check out the nutiritional breakdown and you'll see where the majority of the calories come from.

Another drawback is satiety. For example, if you eat a pineapple, you get sated way before you consume the entire fruit while you can drink all the juice from the entire fruit and still not feel full.

Having said that, I love juicing! I use the pulp to make high fiber muffins and in soups and stews. I tend to use my juicer for my greenie drinks and as a apertif before dinner. I juice grapefruit. I try to consume my fruit whole to get the essential fiber to moderate the sugar intake. I juice the excess of my garden bounty for my own version of V8 instead of buying the processed stuff. Keep juicing, just be aware of the calories & loss of fiber as you plan your meals.

Here's another post on juicing with some good websites.

Than you so much!  I never thought about the lost of fiber.  I was thinking if I’m drinking all those calories at least I’m getting the fiber.  I love juicing so I’m going to keep on doing it.  I think I’m going to try more veggie juices then fruit. 

Thank you again for the advice!!

What kind of juicer do you have? I managed to get a jack lalann juicer from under $60 (normally around $100). I love juicing!

I use the pulp for adding fiber into other foods like muffins or soups. Apple, carrot, ginger and lemon is one of my favorite whole wheat muffins. For broccoli soup, I juice most of the broccoli and then add everything back into a veggie soup. It thickens it into a consistency without added fat or starch. Top with some grated parmesan and cracked pepper.

I have Breville compact Juicer.  Its works very well!  I think it was about $80 (bed bath&beyond).  Is there a website where you get your recipes for you muffins & soups using the pulp.  I throw out a ton of pulp everyday and I would love to use it. 

hey!

i love juicing and have read many of Jason Vales books and tend to make a juice in the morning with fruit and vegetables and have it with (before) my meals! i add in psyllium husks to ensure i have enough fibre and i also add in wheatgrass powder and spirulina powder (a blur green algae) and i can seriously say i can never manage to drink it all and eat my meal as i feel so full and it keeps me full!

the other good thing is i am quite a fussy eater and i couldnt sit down to a plate with vegetables on but i can sit down to a plate with lean meat a little carbs and a nice fruit and vegetable juice! :D

hope this helps a little x
