User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: does cooked spinach have calories while raw spinach doesn't?
Assistant: Both cooked spinach and raw spinach contain calories. However, cooked spinach generally has a higher calorie density because the cooking process reduces its volume, allowing you to consume more spinach in a smaller amount. 

In raw form, spinach is about 23 calories per 100 grams, while cooked spinach with water has around 41 calories per 100 grams due to the concentration of nutrients as water cooks off. However, the differences in calories are minor and should be considered as part of your overall dietary intake.
User: how many grams of raw spinach are in a cup
Assistant: A cup of raw spinach typically weighs about 30 grams. This measurement can vary slightly depending on how tightly the spinach is packed into the cup, but 30 grams is a common estimate.
User: is raw broccoli zero calories
Assistant: Raw broccoli is not zero calories, but it is very low in calories. A 100-gram serving of raw broccoli contains approximately 34 calories. While it's a very nutritious vegetable with a lot of fiber and vitamins, it still has a small caloric value.
User: what about cooked broccoli
Assistant: Cooked broccoli contains more calories than raw broccoli due to the concentration of nutrients as water cooks off. Typically, a 100-gram serving of cooked broccoli has approximately 55 calories. The exact calorie count can vary depending on the cooking method and whether any additional ingredients (like oil or butter) are used during cooking. Overall, broccoli—both raw and cooked—is a healthy choice with a range of vitamins and minerals.
User: just boiled in water
Assistant: When broccoli is simply boiled in water, it generally retains a similar calorie count to steamed broccoli. A 100-gram serving of boiled broccoli typically contains about 35 to 45 calories. The calorie content may vary slightly based on the boiling time and how much water is absorbed during the cooking process, but it remains low compared to many other foods. Boiled broccoli is an excellent source of nutrients, including vitamins C and K, fiber, and various antioxidants.
User: should you measure your vegetables raw or cooked when macro tracking
Assistant: When tracking macros, it's generally recommended to measure your vegetables in their raw state unless the recipe or meal specifically calls for cooked measurements. This is because cooking can change the weight and volume of vegetables, often leading to confusion in portion sizes. 

For instance, cooking methods like boiling or steaming cause vegetables to lose water content, which can make it seem like you're consuming more calories and macros than you actually are if measured cooked. Therefore, measuring raw helps maintain consistency and accuracy in your tracking. However, if you're following a specific recipe or meal plan that lists cooked measurements, it's best to adhere to that approach for consistency.
User: how much chicken is normal in a meal (cooked in grams)
Assistant: The typical serving size of cooked chicken for a meal varies, but a common recommendation is about 100 to 150 grams (approximately 3.5 to 5.3 ounces) per person. This portion can provide a good balance of protein, and it can be adjusted based on individual dietary needs, activity levels, and personal preferences. For larger meals or if chicken is the primary protein source, serving sizes can go up to 200 grams (7 ounces) or more.
User: what about for ground beef
Assistant: For ground beef, a typical serving size for a meal is generally around 100 to 150 grams (approximately 3.5 to 5.3 ounces) when cooked. This portion provides a good amount of protein and can vary based on personal dietary needs and preferences. In some cases, especially in heartier dishes like burgers or casseroles, portions can be larger, potentially reaching 200 grams (7 ounces) or more. Always consider the overall context of the meal when determining the appropriate serving size.
