Was the one cup measurement of raw broccoli before it was cooked, or one cup measured after it was cooked? That makes a lot of difference.

Just so you know, your one cup "other veggies," like broccoli, need to be measured raw, before cooking. A cup of raw veggies will cook down to about half a cup.

Fitday doesn't deduct fiber--you have to do the math.
