I was just wondering how much calories does a medium sized cucumber have? I eat about 2 of them a day and I don't really count those calories so I would really like to know. I know that 1 cup of cucumber equals 14 calories or so. But how much does say a 8 inch cucumber have?

theres not really too much to them.. they are high in vitamin a and potassium.. personally before bedtime i prefer to take in a bunch of casein protein (cottage cheese, milk, etc.). protects muscle degradation while i sleep, and fills me up so im not hungry at like 4am
