Calories in Asparagus

Asparagus is ultra low in calories when the cheese sauce and cream sauces are omitted - about 34 calories per cup of uncooked asparagus. Although asparagus is a great diuretic, it lends a strange, yet harmless odor to urine. Here are some more extra low asparagus calorie-counts:

Asparagus, raw - 1 cup contains about 34 calories

1 Small Spear of Asparagus about 5" long contains 3 calories.

1 Medium Spear of Asparagus about 5" to 7" long contains 4 calories.

1 Large Spear of Asparagus about 7" to 8" long contains 5 calories.

1 Extra Large Spear of Asparagus about 8" to 10" long contains 6 calories.

1 Asparagus tip up to 2" long contains about 1 calorie.
