[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 84712, member: 12578"] sorry, probably not a sensible thing to do, but for clarification to another poster. 90gms cooked weight of spinach is the same as 180gm of raw spinach.( half the initial weight is water). Perhaps I should have pointed this out originally. The comparison is valid, though actually my point is that you need fibre from a variety of sources in order to get enough and some veg actually has very little... spinach hass moderate amounts, some things such as iceberg lettuce are negligible But why not weigh and work out how much you take in and then if necessary work out the best way for you to include more fibre in your diet ? Having diabetes is a problem in itself, why add to it? I thought I was eating sufficient, lots of veg, a couple of portions of fruit, some wholegrain bread, porrridge and new potaotes but my analysis still came out as 23gms from this average day , not much below recommended, but I knew that on some days I probably ate less. I've now added more pulses to my diet in order to keep the average up. edited to add : (I had to stop for lunch) whiting,new potaotes, green beans, asparagus, cauliflower and strawberries! [/QUOTE]
