Can I eat as much Kale as I want?

Postby Plants4Life » Wed Apr 03, 2019 4:26 am

Hello,
I really enjoy the taste of Kale and tend to eat around 500g a day of it. Is this too much? I have a past of hashimotos disease and heard that kale is a glycogen. Are there any issues with iodine intake in that matter ( I use iodized sea salt)? Also, can blood clotting be an issue when high amounts of kale are consumed because of it's high amount in vitamin k?

Thanks!

I can’t imagine an issue with it, but why don’t you track your food for a few days and make sure you are hitting all your nutrient needs? 500g takes up a large volume, especially raw.
