Hi everyone,

I wasn’t sure where to put this topic, then settled on here because it seems like this stream gets the most attention. I have a question that seems simple, but maybe isn’t so much:

HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN COOKED/STEAMED KALE?

I have a package of chopped kale that has the calories listed at 45 for 2 1/2 cups. That seems about right and in line with online calorie calculators. However, when I measure out 2 1/2 cups and then steam it, there is probably only a cup there. I find it hard to believe that one lousy, puny cup of steamed kale is 45 calories. It seems like it would be much less.

What are your thoughts on this, as I’d like to eat more kale at a sitting!

thanks

thanks!!!!
