Ok to eat 1 lb of kale a day?

[Anonymous]

Lately, I’ve been eating about one pound (16 oz cooked) of kale a day. Maybe it’s a temporary craving but I love it. Wondering if anyone here knows if there’s a possible health downside to this? I’m vegetarian so my body is already used to lots of veggies.
I tried googling but there’s just so many junk websites so I thought I’d try here.

Yes too much raw kale is toxic.

Too many oxalates, risk forming a kidney stone.

Try to eat more diverse food options.

Kale is low in oxalates. Spinach is super high in oxalates so avoid spinach if watching oxalate intake

I eat maybe 10+ fruits and veggies a day along with gains and fiber so I think it’s pretty diverse already! But I could definitely try different veggies. I think this is a temporary fad that I’ll lean into for now— just wanted to make sure it’s not a bad one.

You are outrageously stupid. The first thing she says is it's COOKED kale.

Please stay off this website.

Why do people post such obviously easily disproven falsehoods? Are you a troll?

I think this poster was replying to the OP, saying “Yes [it is ok to eat 1 lb of cooked kale per day]”….

It's probably fine.

It's a lot of calcium (raw), about 1100 mg. I think cooking it reduces it by 60-70%?

A pound a day? You'll be so sick of kale in no time so I wouldn't worry about it.

I understand they were replying. HOWEVER OP said COOKED and PP said raw. What an idiot.

Kale is not heavy…an entire pound must be a huge amount
