Chopped broccoli/ whole broccoli

[Kibs]

anyone happen to know what difference there would be between a cup of whole raw broccoli and a cup of chopped steamed broccoli? I just made a cup of steamed chopped broccoli and it seems like a aweful lot now that its staring at me, half eaten on my plate urplequ:

There is a considerable difference, but I'm not sure what that difference is.

Try measuring a cup of raw broccoli, then chopping and cooking it, then measure how much smaller that is. Extrapolate mathematically to find your answer.

Or look it up on the Net - there's probably some comparative carb counts somewhere that would help you figure it out.

Yeah I would have measured it whole to begin with, but it came chopped. Oh well, at least I know I got in 3 cups of veggies haha
