Shares use 4 calories per gram for protein and carbohydrate and 9 for fat, so they may not match USDA’s calorie total exactly. Try the macro calculator.

Good to know

  • A 10-oz package (284 g) of raw spinach has about 65 calories.
  • Spinach wilts dramatically when cooked, so a cup of cooked spinach holds several cups of raw leaves. Log it by weight or use a cooked-spinach entry.
