How much butter in my broccoli?

cranny · 02-29-2008, 09:38 AM

I'm hooked on eating Cheddar's salmon blackened w/ broccoli once a week for lunch. But I'm not sure how to count the butter content. I asked to leave it off but they said it was already pre-prepared w/ butter. It's not dripping w/ butter but you can def. taste it. So what would you guestimate the amount of butter added to one cup of broccoli? I'm assuming around 1 tsp? May seem anal, and prob. is but every little bit adds up it seems when keeping a journal.
Not sure if you have a Cheddar's in your area but if you do try the salmon. Looking at it I would say the dinner portion is 10oz. Their broccoli cheese casserole is the bomb though I can't have it right now.

Could very easily be closer to a tablespoon... be wary of that butter.

Sounds good though bro, none of those up in the northeast.

I'm guessing it's closer to 3 given that it's a restaurant.

Why not make it yourself at home? That way, you can make several meals of it, then individually freeze them for a quick, healthy nuke-able lunch during the week...that you know the exact ingredients of!
