Fresh spinach — leafy green, iron and folate dense.

Cooks down dramatically — 1 lb raw becomes 1 cup cooked. Nearly free in calorie terms.

Best for

  • volume eating — 23 kcal / 100g keeps plates big
  • fiber and micronutrient gaps on high-protein diets

Watch out

  • drowning produce in creamy dressings you did not log
  • dried fruit or juice versions if you meant fresh

How to log it

Log the form you eat (raw, cooked, juiced). 1 cup raw (~30g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Almost always fits as the volume layer. If fat/sauce is the real meal, log that honestly.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Raw or steamed spinach stays close to the page numbers. Oil and creamy dressings are where calories hide — typical kcal per 100g:

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
