Was wondering how many calories (aprox) is in home made vegetable broth with only water and vegetables?

Question

I made some vegatable broth with only water, half a head of cabbage, one beet, 5 carrots, two leaks, and one med onion. I have looked online but there are so many different numbers with no reasons behind them. I then strained out all the vegatable matter and would just like to know how much the broth would count for in calories.

Doing a detox diet that calls for 4 cups of the broth and wanted to track just how much calories I was eating.

Answer 1

Half a head of cabbage 150
1 beet 35
5 carrots (7.5 inches long) 150
2 leeks 108
1 med onion 46

Total calories 489

This is before cooking. The more you cook them down the closer to 489 calories you will get, but not over. If you used smaller carrots, adjust accordingly. By cooking this soup down you will also destroy alot of the nutrition in them that you would get by eating them raw. The detox factor on the body for raw veggies is much greater than cooked. If you have a juicer, juice them raw, discard the pulp, and drink. You get all the nutrition, and a great detox drink.
If you have any more questions like this, if you will include the weight (amount of grams) and not just for example 5 carrots, I can tell you exactly how many calories you are getting. Take care

Calories In Vegetable Broth

Answer 3

You need a base broth, so boil some water and throw in some bullion cubes or buy a broth you like. Add some carrots, parsnips, celery, and maybe some small pieces of potato. Cook for about an hour. Boil some water and cook some fine egg noodles. Drain the noodles, add to bowl of soup. Voila.

Answer 4

average it down to 300 - 500 calories. (depending on how long you boiled the veggies. the more you boil the more material liquefies into the water thus mineralizing the water and giving it base and content.

that's a safe amount.

and 500 calories is less than half the recommended caloric intake, you're safe. - going on the amount assumption of a half gallon to a gallon of water? just assume this amount i know the numbers are very different pertaining to amounts, time of cooking.. how fresh the veggies are...

remember water and veggies get absorbed by the body rather quickly and burn up just as fast.



sounds good... ? what'cha going to do with it?

Answer 5

All I know is in Weight Watchers, it is all 0 points. There is not enough calories in any of the broth or those veggies. You can eat as much as you want of it and not feel guilty.

Answer 6

A veg is a plant or part of a grow used as food

Answer 7

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Thus as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Answer 8

Even if you left in the veggies, it has negative calories, meaning it takes your body more calories to digest the food than it has in it, especially if you add tomato
