I like to use grams for food and stuff because 1 cup might be more or less but grams just seems more accurate to me.
It can be a pain but I like it's accuracy for me.

So I had a question regarding some tomato soup I was learning how to make today. You can read about it here if you want: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/116404-fresh-squeezed-tomatoes

Here is how I broke it down to get calories per gram .... any input on if this looks right or not would be great

Tomato Juice - 7.5 cups = 1,724.40 grams = 283 calories
Water - 4.5 cups = 1034.64 grams = 0 calories
Cream Of Wheat - 1.75 cups = 402.36 grams = 1341 calories
Eggs - 3 eggs = 159 grams = 223 calories
Water - 0.50 cup = 114.96 grams = 0 calories
Sour Cream - 375g = 659 calories
Water - 228.92 grams = 0 calories

Total grams = 4039.28
Total Calories = 2505 calories

I then plugged in homemade soup withe the totals and weighed what I am eating giving me 500 grams = 310 calories

Sound good?
