FOOD STATE MATTERS
How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Raw juice
Selected reference.
Bottled cordial
Use the exact sweetened product label.
Concentrate
Use the matching product state.
Drink or marinade
Log all recipe ingredients.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How raw lime juice can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math
At 25 kcal per 100 g, the 30.8 g example is 7.7 kcal.
Fibre check
The selected record lists 0.4 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 0.42 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Measure plain raw juice and keep sweeteners, concentrate and recipes separate.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep whole limes according to seller guidance.

Prepare
Use clean fruit, tools and containers when juicing.
Safety boundary
This nutrient record does not establish juice-storage duration; use current authoritative guidance.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log raw lime juice more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Lime juice, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
