Are you counting calories?

Well, so are we.  But not as often as we should apparently.  During our five mile "hike" this morning the calorie count issue came up.  One of the points of discussion was the 8 ounce glass of freshly squeezed orange juice we enjoy each day.  "Too many calories," stated my unbelievably beautiful exercise partner.

Man, I hated to hear that since the orange tree in the front yard has a bumper crop of these orange globes this year.  Plus, I understand that the price of oranges is growing  higher than our tree.  Thankfully, beer was never mentioned.  Besides, I read somewhere that twelve ounces of beer was equal to a two mile run for your cardiovascular system and I am not receptive to alternative points of view. 

After we got home and cooled off a bit, I went online and pulled up Calorie Count. 

I scrolled through the web site and to my great pleasure discovered that an 8 ounce glass of orange juice has but 112 calories.  The orange tree stays and we can continue pick fruit until we strip the tree bare.  HooRah!

I recommend this web site not just for the calorie counter, but they also have recipes and a unit converter.

Did you know that an 8 ounce glass of water has zero calories and nothing else?  Yeah, me too.
