Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 All right, here's the question: 2 cups of raw, chopped broccoli and cauliflower. 2 or 4 servings of veggies? -- Sláinte, S.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 As a general rule 1/2 cup of a vegetable counts as a serving. For raw leafy vegetables, like lettuce and spinach, a serving is 1 cup. This is what my WW booklet says.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 It took me forever to get this down but the way it was explained to me is... 1/2 cup if the veggies are cooked is one serving 1 cup if the veggies are raw is one serving Kris 194/128/132 -----Original Message----- I believe it is 2...1 cup is considered a serving for veggies.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 , As regards vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, I long ago decided to adopt Tory's mind-set on this: I did not get fat on broccoli and cauliflower. I'm not going to bother counting them! My body is going to be so busy digesting and metabolizing these fresh veggies that any possible point values are going to cancel themselves out! But, if you still want to count them, eTools says that 1 1/2 cups of fresh broccoli is 0 points, whereas 2 cups are 1/2 of a point. One full head of fresh cauliflower is said to be 2 points.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Oops, sorry . You asked about servings, not points. I don't count servings of fresh vegetables, either! Bette 278/169/175 or 160? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
