How do you log grapes?

I love grapes, but I am unsure how to log them. I have been using the MFP listing for grapes, but I noticed a discrepancy. If I put grapes into a cup and use that listing it is considerably more calories than if I log the same number of grapes as individual grapes. So I am not sure which one to use. How do you log grapes?

    Try to find an entry in grams or ounces. Then it doens't matter how many, how large or small.

    I don't have a food scale so I do them individually mostly cause I will only eat at the most 30 in one sitting.

    I log them by count and usually max at 30 as well.

    I weigh everything. No ifs, ands, or buts... everything.

    you can get a scale on amazon with pretty reasonable price. I weight them, much much better.
  • good question. I usually count grapes and cherries individiually since I tend to don't eat the same amount each time.

    Ok, I found a weight listing and weighed the amount I had eaten individually. I know it's not preciously accurate, but the weight amount was much more consistent with the measurement amount vs logging them individually. I will weigh from now on, because logging them individually underestimated my calories by about half.
  • whichever is closest to your exact measure.

    I usually just log them by the cup.
