Logging question: bought ice cream & the front of the package says 170 cals per 4oz serving. Nutrition label says 170 cals per 69 grams. Thing is, according to my food scale 69g is almost 2.5oz, not 4! So.... wtf?!

I logged it according to the 69g. But why is this SO off?

    Perhaps it is 4 fl ounces, which would be about 1/2 cup. That's a standard size for a serving of ice cream.

    This is what I was thinking. The classic volume ounces vs weighed ounces confusion.

    It's fluid ounces. Go with the gram weight.

    Ah. Ok. Irritating that it doesn't say fl oz. Thanks for the information.
