Date: June 21, 2008 03:56AM I've been keeping track of what I eat with Fitday and just wondering if the calories are acurate in the JUICE if I put it as food. Like if I juice 2 apples, instead of selecting "Apple Juice" and the ounces it came out to... I just picked 2 medium sized apples. I don't even know how much juice it came out to since I added carrots.
I think I've read on here before that there aren't any calories in the pulp/fiber..? Re: Are the calories the same in juce as they are whole?

The pulp does have some calories but fiber calories per gram are lower than sugar calories per gram, about 2 instead of 4. You could use the whole food value, weigh the pulp in grams (or estimate, 1 tbsp is very roughly 15 g), and subtract 2 calories for each gram of pulp.
