All BFG is trying to say with the juice is, it is very caloric for the benefit you'll get. A bit of orange juice isn't a bad thing, but 5 glasses is a lot. You could have one glass, one real orange, and them something else more filling and substantial for the same amount of calories, and without the HUGE sugar load.
Here is what 5 cups of OJ looks like:
Amount Per 5 cup Calories 659.85
Calories from Fat 0 % Daily Value * Total Fat 0g 0% Saturated Fat 0g 0% Polyunsaturated Fat 0.124g Monounsaturated Fat 0.124g Cholesterol 0mg 0% Sodium 24.9mg 1% Potassium 522.9mg 15% Total Carbohydrate 166.83g 56% Dietary Fiber 0g 0% Protein 2.49g 5% Alcohol 0g
650 calories?!? You could eat a Big Mac and be better. And over 150g of sugar.
Use BFG's advice, have A glass, an orange, and something else (like nuts, lean protein, veggies, protein shake, whatever.)
