Tracking food

All of the food I eat, I measure in ounces, not in serving size. Is there anyway to convert without taking the extra time to find out how many cups 12 oz of veggies or 2 oz cheese would equally.
I'm also wondering if the pasta measurements are dry or cooked?

Simple solution is to create your own entries. that way you can put in ounces if you wish. Pasta measurements is dry I believe.0

There are calculators online which is an easy way to do it. Try this one http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/ounces-to-grams.htm

I have the same problem with veggies.... some things are listed as 1 serving or 1 zuchinni, or 1/2 cup, etc. I like everything in ounces. When you talk "cups", that relates to liquid.. volume varies depending on leaf sizes, etc.
I've added my own foods when I buy prepackaged ones. But, I still have to do some estimating when it comes to veggies because the measurements are not listed by weight. So, I just do the best I can and remember that I can't do that much damage by underestimating non-starchy vegatables.0
