Is cooked spinach always the superior choice? Both fresh and cooked spinach contain about the same amount of macronutrients in a 100-gram serving (roughly 3 1/3 cups raw or 1/2 cup cooked spinach). Both servings are about 23 calories, 3.8 g of carbohydrates, 3 g of protein, 0.3 g of fat, and a whopping 2.4 g of fiber, which is 10 percent of the daily value.
Since some nutrients, such as vitamin C, are lost when spinach is cooked, raw spinach can be a healthy option as long as you follow the appropriate food safety rules. A 1-cup serving of raw spinach contains only 29 calories, 0.9 gram of protein, 0.1 grams of fat and 1 gram of carbohydrate, including 0.7 grams of fiber. It is a very low-calorie food, so filling up on a raw spinach salad before meals may help keep you from going over your calorie budget for the day.
