Dumb calorie question

I was just curious do you count liquid calories from say a glass of cranberry juice the same as you count for regular meals ? do you add them in your total daily intake ?

I just thought of this as I was reading the label on my juice.



Thanks
 
Nothing like taking in 60g of carbs when you have your oatmeal and glass of juice in the morning. The only time I let myself drink juice anymore is post work out, when my body can use the extra carbs. Otherwise, I just stay away from them.
 
This brings up an interesting question to me...

My wife is fanatical about only buying juice that is 100% real juice - none of that 10% juice stuff.

How would you rate this on a dietary scale? Does it make a difference at all - or is your biggest concern with the sugar content in which case they both have sugar?
 
Personally, when I drink juice (cranberry), I usually cut it with water anyhow so I go with the 100% stuff. Plus, I feel like I'm getting more vitamins from it. Yeah, I'm a victim of marketing...
 
There is a difference. Fructose does not spike your insulin levels like other sugars. So it's safe to say 100% is much better. Plus, you don't mess with mother nature, she knows best. Why would you want juice that's been tampered with when you have a choice?
 
as a side note, some question if we should count the protein in foods that are considered incomplete proteins towards their protein intake for the day.

if you eat it, count it ;)
