Does anyone choose a portion size of green vegetables (not tomatoes, root vegetables or grains) thinking about caloric content or caloric needs? I always take as much as seems tolerable, figuring that more is always better. I'd think that if one covered a salad plate with uncooked spinach to a depth of 2 inches, one would have fewer calories than in the small dose of salad dressing or bacon bits that a fastidious dieter might swallow as immaterial. Is that true?
- burfog 8y agoFYI, that's getting to be a dangerous amount of spinach. You could die of oxalic acid poisoning. Probably 2 inches is OK if fluffed instead of packed, but at that point you ought to weigh it and weigh yourself and make sure you have excellent kidney function. You could also be setting yourself up for painful kidney stones if you make this diet a habit.
- tw1010 8y agoWhat if you cook the spinach, do you know if the oxalic acid less of a problem then?
