Default Measuring broccoli and cauliflower
permalink
I was wondering if you guys could share with me how you usually measure broccoli and cauliflower.
When I buy if fresh I take the stalks and trim off all the little heads cutting most of them in half so they are smaller.

BUT, when I use fitday I am trying to make sure that I am entering my "flowerets" correctly.

**I am counting the little individual pieces cut off of one stalk. I just don't see how 4 flowerets (these small heads) could possibly have the carbs they are listing it to have. If that is the case then these two veggies, I'm sad to say, will be crossed off the shopping list from now on. I mean they are good and all but that is a lot of carbs!

Just wondering how all you do your measuring. I don't like the cup method at all.
