Calories in Tesco "High Juice"

simmed

Tesco High Juice Apple, and Tesco High Juice Pineapple.

Firstly let's do some maths. I drink a lot of the stuff - 1 bottle only lasts me around 3 days, and that's making it very weak. A 1L bottle of this stuff has - get this - 1,700 kcal!!! Working out to an extra 600kcal on to my diet, every day, for the sake of having water which tastes slightly apple-y. For comparison, 3500 kcal = 1 lb of pure fat, so that's a pound of fat every 5 days, purely from the juice!

And I can't imagine this stuff is good for your teeth either.

A warning to you all not to be as naive as me.. always read the label.

So yeah.. seeing as I'm trying to cut down a few pounds, I'll not be buying that again :whistle:

This made me go and look at my squash, which is just the normal Tesco no-added sugar squash. That has 190 calories per litre. I can't believe there's such a huge difference between different squashes! Yours must be like a bottle of syrup! I'll definitely be checking the labels of any brands I buy.

Hi juice is not usually made with artificial sweeteners, that will account for the difference in calories.

Personally I wouldn't drink either. Stick with water, it's cheaper and less fattening

can you swap to the no added sugar versions? We drink these, they're pretty good & are 260kcal per litre (undiluted).

WOW!

That is really shocking and reminds me of what I have always adhered to when trying to shed weight...

"Don't drink your calories"

In theory, you could easily be able to lose a pound of weight a week JUST by not drinking squash!!!

Water is better for you, or even flavoured water. That said, a bottle of that juice lasts at least a month (probably longer) between 2 adults and one child because we have it rarely, and when we do it is very dilute. I do sometimes like some squash with sparkling water, instead of fizzy juice like coke etc.
