Broccoli calories per 100g: 34 kcal
Nutrition facts per 100g (raw broccoli)
Broccoli calories: raw weight is not cooked weight
The USDA reference used here is raw broccoli at 34 calories per 100 grams. It excludes cooking fat, cheese, sauce, and other ingredients. If the broccoli was weighed after cooking, use a cooked entry rather than treating the raw and cooked weights as interchangeable.
How to log a U.S. serving
For steamed or microwaved broccoli, record the edible florets and stems that were actually eaten. For roasted broccoli, measure the oil; it can change the meal total even when the vegetable portion stays the same.
When to use another entry
Frozen plain broccoli can be checked against its package label. Broccoli-and-cheese casseroles, restaurant sides, and frozen products with sauce are mixed dishes and need their own recipe or label.
