Is anyone juicing. How do you enter home made juices.

[Able]

I'm making my own juices for Breakfast and sometimes otehr meals, as in the movie,

"Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead."

Is anyone else here juicing?

[joeley21]

That is awesome!!  I'm feeling better too but I don't juice everyday.  I'm still having an issue wasting the pulp left over from the juiceing.  Seems like such a waste.  

[joeley21]

Those are great ideas....thanks

[joeley21]

Thanks, I mix it up a bit by juicing and puree some things!

Just getting statred with my Surge and I too want to know how you can add Juicing values to log as food?

[Ja347]

I found a juicing calculator online. You enter what goes into your juice and it calculates the calories, vitamins, etc. http://www.juicingcollection.com/juicing-calculator/ I mix a ton of different stuff and it's cumbersome to have to enter each individual vegetable as other's have suggested, not to mention it may not be the same caloric intake/ nutritional info as eating the entire vegetable that would include fiber. Hope this helps.

I recently bought a Ninja to make smoothies. I get my recipes from the Ninja website which include all of the calorie and other nutritional info for each smoothie. Maybe there is a juicer recipe site that you could get your recipe & numbers from. Good luck with your weight loss goals.

Happy juicing!

That is a debate. When juicing, you are extracting all of the nutrition from the fruit or vegetable. Fiber is not the only important factor when juicing or making smoothies. So you could also say that juicing is more healthy because you are getting a higher nutritional value. It depends on what your personal goal is. Mine is the nutritional aspect, therefore I juice. You are not taking out all of the fiber. I switched from making smoothies to juicing over a year ago and the change has been remarkable. Less calories, more nutritional value and enough fiber. I feel better.

OK, you’re comparing juicing vs. smoothies, but let’s compare juicing vs. eating the fruits/veggies whole: if you are juicing six apples, you get the nutrients (and the calories) of six apples; if you’re eating the same six apples whole, you get the same nutrients (and calories), but also more fiber (because let’s face it, most of the fiber goes down the drain when you juice). You may argue that you couldn’t possibly eat six apples, because you would feel stuffed after eating just two or three. So juicing six apples allows you to extract "all of the nutrition" from six apples and conveniently drink it without feeling stuffed. However, this is the whole point in eating fruits/veggies whole: the satiating effect. Juicing will cause you to drink a lot of calories, but you may still feel hungry, and may therefore feel compelled to eat something else. Chances are eating just two or three apples will get you all the nutrients you need for the day (from fruits/veggies), plus fiber, with less calories, all this while feeling less hungry than when drinking double the amount of juice. Eating whole fruits/veggies is a win-win proposition (compared to juicing or smoothies).

Six apples is quite a lot for comparison purposes and would be a lot of calories. Let's take my juice from yesterday to look at calorie content. One apple, one beet, the red stalk from the beets, 3 very small stalks of celery= 158 calories. You do not extract all of the calories when juicing. That was my breakfast and I was completely satisfied. I understand some people would not be, but I have colonic and stomach issues. One being gastroperisis. This disorder prevents my stomach from emptying. Therefore, feeling full a lot of the time and not wanting to eat. I need to get nutrients into my body, so juicing does that. Even without this disorder, I still feel that juicing is a wonderful way to get nutrition into your system without a great deal of calories as long as you are juicing properly. It is a good alternative for people that may not eat healthily the rest of the day.

I'm planning on juicing in the near future. I use the Lose It! app for when I need calorie information on homemade stuff, because it lets you create your own recipes. It lets you enter each ingredient that you put into your homemade food/drink and how many servings it is then calculates the calories for you.

I love Kris Carr's Crazy Sexy Juicing.

Hi LisaMarie,
When I do juicing, I follow Joe Cross recipes. I have downloaded the app and each juice combination has a breakdown of all ingredients as in calories, carbs, sodium and all other nutrients per serving; very easy to enter in, say MyFitnessPal.
Hope this helps.
All the best.

I use the breville juicer and that's by far been very impressive. You might want to consider checking into that. I'm a huge fan to begin with on breville products. My tea maker I purchased 10 years ago & it's still doing an outstanding job. I've always heard you get what you pay for.
