TEST OF MEASURING VS WEIGHING

Okay, this evening I measured and weighed two veggies here are my findings. WEIRD!

I measured both raw. Measured first in a cup then poured onto scale.

Turnip greens 2 cups = 7.8 carbs 3.5 fiber == 4.3 net carbs
same amt 1.5 oz = 3.0 carbs 1.4 fiber == 1.6 net carbs

*** In this case I have chosen to use the 2 cup carb count as it is higher.

Red Cabbage 1 cup = 6.6 carbs 1.9 fiber == 4.7 net carbs
same amt 4.5 oz = 9.4 carbs 2.7 fiber == 6.7 net carbs

***In this case I have chosen to use the 4.5oz as it has a higher carb count.


So tell me guys, which do you think you would choose?
