It's sometimes hard to judge, but you can go by nutrition labels to some extent. For example, bag salad has a typical serving size as 1 to 1-1/2 cups, and 2-3 servings per bag. So even though you can't stuff a measuring cup with salad greens, you can pretty much estimate by how much you use from a bag.
With something like steamed broccoli, 1 cup is around 4-5 ounces. Go with 5.
You can find out some equivalents with an internet search. Be sure that you use dry measure equivalents, not liquid, for vegetables.
Cheers!
