Tomato Juice - How Many Calories?

Tomato juice calories and cup weight

This table describes canned tomato juice with added salt. It provides 17 kcal per 100 g and 34 kcal per weighed 200 g. The USDA cup measure weighs 243 g and supplies about 41 kcal. A household glass is not automatically a 200 g portion: milliliters measure volume, while this table uses mass.

Does low calorie also mean low sodium?

No. A 200 g portion of this reference contains 506 mg sodium; the 243 g cup supplies about 615 mg. A no-added-salt version or another brand can differ substantially. Compare labels on the same basis, such as per 100 ml, then calculate the amount you will drink. Do not treat a label's milliliters as the grams used here without a valid density conversion.

Tomato juice also brings sodium when used as a cooking liquid. Adding 200 g of this reference to a recipe divided into four equal portions contributes about 127 mg sodium per portion from the juice alone. Salt, stock and other ingredients add to that total. The sodium-to-salt label explanation helps you include this drink alongside salt from the rest of your food.

The mixed vegetable juice cocktail reference supplies 338 mg sodium in the same 200 g. That difference between two historical records does not replace checking a current brand label.

On a branded volume label, Dimes 100% tomato juice gives 0.2 g salt and 80 mg sodium per 200 ml. This is not a converted 200 g portion; use the volume and salt declarations on your own carton.

What nutrients does tomato juice provide?

A 200 g portion provides about 7.06 g carbohydrate, 5.16 g total sugars, 1.70 g protein, 0.80 g fiber and 434 mg potassium. These are useful contributions, but the small fiber amount does not make the juice a meal replacement. Total sugars are not the same as added sugars; check the ingredient list to see whether sugar was added.

The table does not establish that tomato juice cleanses the kidneys or treats a disease. If your eating plan limits potassium or sodium, use the actual brand's label and the amount you drink. Drinking juice differs from canned tomatoes including their juice: this juice reference has 0.4 g fiber per 100 g, compared with 1.9 g in the canned-tomato reference. Use the entry that matches what you eat or drink.

Source and storage after opening

The composition comes from USDA SR28 entry 11540. Fresh juice and other brands may differ, including their vitamin content. Refrigerate after opening and follow the package's storage instructions. USDA lists 5–7 refrigerated days for opened commercial high-acid canned products such as tomato juice; follow a shorter label limit.
