What is 100grams equal to?? I thought it meant a cup! So all this time I have been eating a cup of ham! Then I look it up today and says its only about half a cup.. not even! Half a cup is 140 something grams!! Can someone put in perspective what 100g looks like! Is it roughly 3oz of meat??

    100 grams equals approx. 3.5 ounces <~~~ measured by cup not weight

    8 oz. = a cup 4 oz. = 1/2 so it would be just shy of 1/2 cup Carrie so says "Wiki' ...I googled it!:blushing: :laugh:
    OK, here this might make you feel better :happy:
    Ham is one of the leanest cuts of pork. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,

    a 3.4 ounce (100 grams) serving of roasted extra-lean ham has about 145 calories,

    5.5 grams of fat, 21 grams of protein and 53 milligrams of cholesterol.

    Ham contains a significant amount of vitamins B-1 and B-12.

    Wow!! That's some seriously good protein in that!!!:bigsmile:
