Energy density

very low
  • Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 4.1 g − 2.3 g = 1.8 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
  • Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Cauliflower (Cooked) gives 8 g.
  • Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.23 kcal/g, Cauliflower (Cooked) is very low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging Cauliflower (Cooked): what to know

Cooked cauliflower reads 23 kcal per 100 g, against 25 kcal for raw florets. Half a cup of one-inch pieces is 62 g, so a full plate adds up to several portions. Mashed cauliflower made with butter or cream is not this row, so log the extras on their own.
