Preparation
Raw green peas are 81 kcal per 100 g with 5.4 g of protein — starchier than most vegetables, which is why they sit above broccoli or spinach. Boiled, they take on a little water and read about 84 per 100 g; there is no meaningful change from cooking. Buttered peas or peas in a cream sauce are where the number moves.
Logging this food
A cup of raw peas is 145 g and 117 kcal. Frozen peas match this row; canned peas are cooked and slightly lower per gram from the water they hold. A typical side portion is 80–100 g, 65–80 kcal. A pat of butter melted over them adds 36.
Swaps and alternatives
For a lower-calorie green, broccoli, green beans or spinach run 25–35 kcal per 100 g — peas are more like a light starch. Edamame is heavier (about 120 per 100 g) with double the protein. As a swap for rice or potatoes, peas at 81 save a third to a half per gram.
