Stems included:
Really large chard, 4 leaves = 1 lb.
Medium chard, 6 to 12 leaves = 1 lb.
Small chard, 12 or more leaves = 1 lb.

I would probably say the stems (if we are taking out the part in the center of the green as well) takes about 3/4 of the total weight.

It's from this site actually. Quinoa, fava bean, chard burgers. You are right. Probably not so crucial to be exact!!

What's you recipe? In many cases, the amount is not crucial--recipes always seem to want to prescribe exact amounts when, in many cases, exact amounts aren't terribly important. I would just buy a healthy bunch. If the bunches you find are small, buy two. And remember not to fret too much ;)
