Chopped Kale? Calories?

Hi there,

Probably such a silly question, but I know if I don't ask it will bother me. Today I find organic frozen chopped kale at Costco for 5$ (it's usually $3 for a non organic small bunch here when we have it). Naturally I had to buy it. I've been adding it to smoothies, salads, boiled with rice etc.

However, today when I looked at the bag it said that it had 60 calories a cup & 3 grams of fiber. However, calorie count says that one cup of chopped frozen kale is about 34 calories. So that is almost double. Now I know no one gets fat off of kale, however when I am eating/boiling 3 or 4 cups at a time, the calories can add up. 

The ingredients just say "100% organic chopped kale"

So do I log it as 60 calories or as 34 calories
