Steaming keeps broccoli bright green and crisp-tender without adding any fat, so it stays at about 35 kcal per 100 g. For a vegetable it has a fair amount of protein, and the florets and peeled stalks are both edible. A drizzle of olive oil, butter or cheese sauce can add more calories than the broccoli itself.
Typical portion: A cup of chopped steamed broccoli weighs about 155 g, which works out to roughly 55 kcal.
