Can anyone please tell me how much one block of romaine lettuce weighs? If I'm not mistaken, one carb block of romaine is two cups shredded. I don't wan't to go through all the hassle of shredding the lettuce. I'd just like to be able to cut it up, weigh it, and then eat it. So if anybody can help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Mike |

Hi Mike,
According to the Food Bock Guide on this site 10 cups of chopped romaine lettuce would equal one carb block.
Sorry, but I can't help you out with the weight of that.
If you're eating 2 cups of lettuce, it wouldn't be necessary to count it at all.

Thanks, Sue
I didn't even think to look on the web site. I just remember what Dr. Sears said in one of his books. Thanks for your help.
