One cup of chopped broccoli (about 91 g) provides roughly 30 calories, 2.5 g of fiber, and a good hit of vitamin C and K, per USDA FoodData Central. It’s a textbook low-calorie-density food — you can eat a large portion for very few calories while adding volume and nutrients to meals. Steam, roast, or stir-fry lightly. Pair with a protein and a small amount of healthy fat for a balanced plate.
Key facts:
