Measuring frozen veggies by weight?

**JulieB** · #1 June 30th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Hi everyone...

I switched to weighing my veggies rather than trying to measure them in a cup when I started Atkins (mostly because I think I can (& would) cram a lot more in a cup than I should

). I do occasionally use frozen veggies for convenience, do these weigh the same as their fresh counterparts? I have been assuming they do, but I'm wondering if anyone has a better idea?

Thanks for your thoughts

It would be safer to follow the nutritional info and serving size written on the package. Freezing might dehydrate the veggie. That will affect the weight, because it loses water.
