Need Help With Kitchen Scale

I recently bought a kitchen scale to help me better record my food intake. I'm not sure how to convert my ounces per serving to cups per serving. For example, I had spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner. The meal I ate weighed 10.5 ounces. When I went to record that, I could only find meals measured in cups, not ounces. I'm confused as to how I should convert or log.

    Jo, Since a cup is 8 oz. You ate 1 cup 2.5 oz. ( I would round it up to 1 1/3 cups). I 'm at a loss when it asks for dry weight and I've already cooked it. My big problem is when it's in grams. I found a conversion chart for that.

    Thanks for the info guys! I had looked up conversions and got confused when I read dry weights measure differently depending on how "packed" a cup is. So confusing and I thought getting a scale would make my measuring easier. LOL.
