Thanks for your help.

There's no need to experiment on yourself just to see if you'll stop losing weight. Just use soliwit's list so that you know how much 1 cup of veggies weighs.

Again, too many people mistakenly believe that a fluid ounce is the same thing as a dry ounce. They aren't the same. Because if 1 fluid ounce = 1 dry ounce, then 8 fluid ounces would = 8 dry ounces. There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. So if 1 cup of something weighed 8 ounces, then 1 cup of broccoli would weigh 8 ounces and 1 cup of spinach would weigh 8 ounces, which they don't as you can see from the USDA info I posted earlier.
