Calories in a Glass of Fruit and Vegetable Juice

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

A glass of juice is rarely weighed, and the number depends on which juice and which record you mean. This guide gives seven juice records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central (pomegranate, pineapple, grape, carrot, tomato, lemon and lime), each with the cup or other weight printed on its record page. They are canned, bottled or raw juice products, named exactly in the table, not a freshly squeezed glass from a juice stall. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has only two juice rows (lemon and sugarcane); its whole-fruit and vegetable rows (pomegranate, pineapple, green grapes, orange carrot, tomato and sweet lime pulp) are shown only as a comparison. IFCT prints energy in kilojoules, so the kcal for those rows are our conversion. Orange and apple juice are in our glass guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 1 cup of pomegranate juice (bottled, 249 g) is 134.5 kcal, of pineapple juice (250 g) 132.5 kcal, of grape juice (253 g) 151.8 kcal, of canned carrot juice (236 g) 94.4 kcal and of canned tomato juice without salt added (243 g) 41.3 kcal. Raw lemon juice is 53.7 kcal for its 244 g cup, and 1 lemon yields 48 g, 10.6 kcal. Our reading: per 100 g the records run from 17 kcal (tomato juice) to 60 kcal (grape juice), so the juice changes a cup by more than three times.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is as printed on the record page. The record names are the dataset's own. "Total sugars" is the record's own line; it is not added sugar.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal or sugars per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours.

The sums: 167787 54 × 249 / 100 = 134.46, so 134.5 kcal; sugars 12.6 × 249 / 100 = 31.374, so 31.4 g; 167787 54 × 31.4 / 100 = 16.956, so 17.0 kcal; sugars 12.6 × 31.4 / 100 = 3.9564, so 4.0 g; 168187 53 × 250 / 100 = 132.5, so 132.5 kcal; sugars 9.98 × 250 / 100 = 24.95, so 25.0 g; 168187 53 × 31.3 / 100 = 16.589, so 16.6 kcal; sugars 9.98 × 31.3 / 100 = 3.12374, so 3.1 g; 173041 60 × 253 / 100 = 151.8, so 151.8 kcal; sugars 14.2 × 253 / 100 = 35.926, so 35.9 g; 173041 60 × 31.6 / 100 = 18.96, so 19.0 kcal; sugars 14.2 × 31.6 / 100 = 4.4872, so 4.5 g; 170491 40 × 236 / 100 = 94.4, so 94.4 kcal; sugars 3.91 × 236 / 100 = 9.2276, so 9.2 g; 170491 40 × 29.5 / 100 = 11.8, so 11.8 kcal; sugars 3.91 × 29.5 / 100 = 1.15345, so 1.2 g; 170545 17 × 243 / 100 = 41.31, so 41.3 kcal; sugars 2.58 × 243 / 100 = 6.2694, so 6.3 g; 170545 17 × 182 / 100 = 30.94, so 30.9 kcal; sugars 2.58 × 182 / 100 = 4.6956, so 4.7 g; 170545 17 × 30.4 / 100 = 5.168, so 5.2 kcal; sugars 2.58 × 30.4 / 100 = 0.78432, so 0.8 g; 167747 22 × 244 / 100 = 53.68, so 53.7 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 244 / 100 = 6.1488, so 6.1 g; 167747 22 × 30.5 / 100 = 6.71, so 6.7 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 30.5 / 100 = 0.7686, so 0.8 g; 167747 22 × 48 / 100 = 10.56, so 10.6 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 48 / 100 = 1.2096, so 1.2 g; 167747 22 × 5.9 / 100 = 1.298, so 1.3 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 5.9 / 100 = 0.14868, so 0.1 g; 168156 25 × 242 / 100 = 60.5, so 60.5 kcal; sugars 1.69 × 242 / 100 = 4.0898, so 4.1 g; 168156 25 × 30.8 / 100 = 7.7, so 7.7 kcal; sugars 1.69 × 30.8 / 100 = 0.52052, so 0.5 g; 168156 25 × 44 / 100 = 11, so 11.0 kcal; sugars 1.69 × 44 / 100 = 0.7436, so 0.7 g.

Our example glasses: 200 g and 250 g

A glass is not a unit on any of these records, and glasses differ in size. The two weights below are our own examples, not dataset values and not measurements: weigh your glass and scale from the per 100 g column.

The sums: 167787 at 200 g: 54 × 200 / 100 = 108, so 108.0 kcal; sugars 12.6 × 200 / 100 = 25.2, so 25.2 g; 167787 at 250 g: 54 × 250 / 100 = 135, so 135.0 kcal; sugars 12.6 × 250 / 100 = 31.5, so 31.5 g; 168187 at 200 g: 53 × 200 / 100 = 106, so 106.0 kcal; sugars 9.98 × 200 / 100 = 19.96, so 20.0 g; 168187 at 250 g: 53 × 250 / 100 = 132.5, so 132.5 kcal; sugars 9.98 × 250 / 100 = 24.95, so 25.0 g; 173041 at 200 g: 60 × 200 / 100 = 120, so 120.0 kcal; sugars 14.2 × 200 / 100 = 28.4, so 28.4 g; 173041 at 250 g: 60 × 250 / 100 = 150, so 150.0 kcal; sugars 14.2 × 250 / 100 = 35.5, so 35.5 g; 170491 at 200 g: 40 × 200 / 100 = 80, so 80.0 kcal; sugars 3.91 × 200 / 100 = 7.82, so 7.8 g; 170491 at 250 g: 40 × 250 / 100 = 100, so 100.0 kcal; sugars 3.91 × 250 / 100 = 9.775, so 9.8 g; 170545 at 200 g: 17 × 200 / 100 = 34, so 34.0 kcal; sugars 2.58 × 200 / 100 = 5.16, so 5.2 g; 170545 at 250 g: 17 × 250 / 100 = 42.5, so 42.5 kcal; sugars 2.58 × 250 / 100 = 6.45, so 6.5 g; 167747 at 200 g: 22 × 200 / 100 = 44, so 44.0 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 200 / 100 = 5.04, so 5.0 g; 167747 at 250 g: 22 × 250 / 100 = 55, so 55.0 kcal; sugars 2.52 × 250 / 100 = 6.3, so 6.3 g; 168156 at 200 g: 25 × 200 / 100 = 50, so 50.0 kcal; sugars 1.69 × 200 / 100 = 3.38, so 3.4 g; 168156 at 250 g: 25 × 250 / 100 = 62.5, so 62.5 kcal; sugars 1.69 × 250 / 100 = 4.225, so 4.2 g.

IFCT 2017: fruit and vegetable rows, for comparison

IFCT 2017, Table 1 (Proximate Principles), per 100 g. IFCT 2017 says all its data except poultry and egg pertains to raw food (PDF p. 27); these are raw fruit or vegetable rows, plus the lemon juice row. IFCT prints energy in kilojoules; kcal is our conversion at 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ, shown to 0.1 kcal with half rounding up. We do not combine these rows with the SR Legacy records, and a whole fruit is not a juice.

The conversions: E033 153 / 4.184 = 36.56787762906309751434034417, so 36.6 kcal; E034 114 / 4.184 = 27.24665391969407265774378585, so 27.2 kcal; E053 180 / 4.184 = 43.02103250478011472275334608, so 43.0 kcal; E055 229 / 4.184 = 54.73231357552581261950286807, so 54.7 kcal; E023 235 / 4.184 = 56.16634799235181644359464627, so 56.2 kcal; F002 139 / 4.184 = 33.22179732313575525812619503, so 33.2 kcal; D075 79 / 4.184 = 18.881453154875717017208413, so 18.9 kcal; D076 82 / 4.184 = 19.5984703632887189292543021, so 19.6 kcal.

What stands out in the numbers

• Energy per 100 g, SR Legacy: 173041 (grape juice) 60 kcal, 167787 (pomegranate juice) 54, 168187 (pineapple juice) 53, 170491 (carrot juice) 40, 168156 (lime juice) 25, 167747 (lemon juice) 22 and 170545 (tomato juice) 17.
• Total sugars per 100 g, SR Legacy: 173041 14.2 g, 167787 12.6 g, 168187 9.98 g, 170491 3.91 g, 170545 2.58 g, 167747 2.52 g and 168156 1.69 g.
• Two lemon juice rows differ: SR Legacy 167747 prints 22 kcal per 100 g and IFCT E033 prints 153 kJ, 36.6 kcal by our conversion. They are different datasets with different samples; we do not pick one.
• A lemon is not a cup: SR Legacy 167747 prints 48 g for the juice of 1 lemon, 10.6 kcal, against 53.7 kcal for its 244 g cup.

Why these are reference rows, not your glass

• Names are the records'. The pomegranate, pineapple, grape and carrot records are bottled or canned products, and pineapple and grape are "with added ascorbic acid". We do not say that a freshly squeezed glass, a roadside glass or a branded juice matches any record.
• No glass in the data. The 200 g and 250 g glasses are our examples; the printed weights are the cup, the fluid ounce and the other portions in the third table.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the energy and carbohydrate of all seven records "Calculated", the protein and fat of all but 170491 "Analytical" (170491 carries no note on them), and the total sugars of 167787, 168187, 170545, 167747 and 168156 "Analytical". The sugars of 173041 carry no note, and those of 170491 are marked "Based on another form of the food or similar food; Concentration adjustment; Solids; Retention factors not used".
• Add-ins are separate. Sugar, salt, ice, black salt, chaat masala, honey or milk are not in these records.
• For a packaged product, the pack wins. This page uses no pack labels.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Log by weight or volume. 200 g of pomegranate juice (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 167787 is 54 × 200 / 100 = 108, so 108.0 kcal and 25.2 g of total sugars.
• Add-ins by their own weight. A spoon of sugar or honey is in our spoon guide.
• Compare with other drinks. See our sugarcane juice, coconut water and milk guide, and our sugar in fruits guide for the whole fruit.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a juice from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same drink.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie or sugar target, and any claim about what juice does to your weight, blood sugar or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Any named brand, pack label or FSSAI figure: not used, so the page does not mix label numbers with the records above.
• Mosambi (sweet lime) juice, fresh-squeezed juice, mixed or sweetened juice, nimbu pani, jaljeera, thandai and shakes: none is among the seven records used here, so no number. Mango lassi and mango shake are in our aamras guide.
• Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate and total sugars: not covered here.
