Using this food reference
The asparagus entry is raw. The cup comparison is drawn from the same USDA record; individual spears also have size-specific portion weights in the source.
Do not treat every spear as the same number of grams. For roasted or boiled asparagus, use the matching preparation and log a separately added sauce or oil rather than relying on the raw reference alone.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Asparagus, raw. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
