I am doing a 30 day raw foods challenge starting tomorrow, and I am going to be juicing probably daily on top of a wide variety of whole foods. I am recording all my food intake and watching my nutrients, calories, fat ratios, ect. in detail.

My question is this, any advice on how to record the values from juiced veggies? I have used NutritionData.com, and Fitday.com, but neither of them have any juicing information for vegetables.

Some additional searches have mentioned the loss of nutrients left in the pulp (outside of the fiber) but no definitive values. My initial thought is I may just knock down the pre juicing volume of my veggies by about 20-25% to negate the nutrition lost in the pulp.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
