FoodMate Score of the food
This is a score for the food on its own, by its composition per 100 g, using the same formula the app applies to a meal. On a plate with other foods the result will differ: buckwheat with vegetables scores higher than buckwheat alone.

How many calories are in white cabbage
Fresh white cabbage has 27 kcal per 100 g: 1.8 g of protein, 4.7 g of carbs and 2 g of fiber, with almost no fat. A 150 g salad serving gives 41 kcal, a 30 g leaf 8 kcal. A medium head weighs 1.5-2 kg, and the whole thing comes to 400-540 kcal, less than a serving of fried potatoes. Young summer cabbage is slightly lighter than winter cabbage, but by 3-4 kcal at most.
Braised and boiled cabbage
Boiled cabbage absorbs a little water and comes to about 23 kcal per 100 g. Braised cabbage gets its calories from oil: usually about 61 kcal per 100 g, and with meat or sausages 100-150. If you braise cabbage in water with tomato and one spoon of oil for the whole pan, the calories stay around 35-40. In shchi soup cabbage adds almost no calories: the meat and fried vegetables do.
Cabbage salad
Cabbage and carrot salad without dressing is about 45 kcal per serving. A tablespoon of sunflower oil adds 135, bringing it to 180 kcal. The classic Russian vinegar salad with a pinch of sugar is much lighter, about 70 kcal per serving. With mayonnaise, like fast-food coleslaw, it comes to 150-200 kcal per 100 g: the sauce makes it higher than many hot dishes.
What cabbage is good for
A 150 g serving of fresh cabbage covers almost all the daily vitamin K and over half of vitamin C, plus fiber and some folate. It is one of the cheapest vegetables and replaces imported ones well in winter. For weight loss cabbage gives volume with almost no calories. Some people get bloated from raw cabbage, while braised and fermented cabbage is easier on the gut.
How to count your serving
Weigh the cabbage and multiply by 0.27, counting the oil and mayonnaise of the dressing separately. If the cabbage is in stuffed rolls, shchi or braised with meat, take a photo in MyFoodMate AI and the app counts the whole dish.
