Question about spinach measurements and induction:
This morning I measured 3, loosely packed, cups of fresh spinach and boiled it. After it was done, it measured a little more than half a cup. I ate it with 25 cals of butter and about 10 drops of lemon juice it was delicious. Are those all the vegetables I get today?
I wonder because Dr. A said 3 cups of leafy salad greens and the Atkins site specifically says to measure spinach raw because it cooks down so much.
HOWEVER: Three cups of spinach has less than 1 net carb, which is far less than 12-15 carbs of veggies allowed/recommended
at Atkins.com.
Confused: Am I supposed to have up to 3 cups of leafy vegetables or up to 15 carbs of vegetables? Or perhaps it is 3 cups which could be up to 15 carbs?
The amount of cooked spinach just looked so puny....
Thanks for the help.
