Okay I was following this diet for 3 days and tonight I was supposed to have 1 cup of turkey. I recently was given a nice scale for weighing food. I weighed out the turkey to 8 ounces which is one cup right???? Compared to my dry measuring 1 cup it looked like wayyyy more than one cup. Just wanted to make sure I was doing that right.

I don't think weight and volume are interchangeable with solids....0

If your guide says 1 cup, then I would chop up the turkey and put it in the measuring cup. You could then weight this amount so you know the weight for next time if this would help.0

No, One cup of turkey is just that, the turkey that would fit in a one cup measuring cup. Cups measures fluid ounces, which is volume. This is not the same as the weight in ounces measured on a scale.0

Chop chop and put into a cup!
NB...even for cooking weighs of things like flour and sugar are slightly different to their same volume. See I was listening in science!!0 -
and for our friends across the Atlantic, one cup is 1/4 of a liter.0
