Ok....so I suck at math. I'm trying to log a tablespoon of shredded cheese, but my only option is a 1 cup measurement. Anyone have any suggestions on how to calculate the correct amount?

    There are 16 tbsp in one cup. Try typing in .0625 of 1 cup.

    16 tablespoons to a cup. 1 tablespoon (the part) divided by 16 tablespoons (the whole) is 0.06 of a cup.

    .16 is NOT 1/16th. It is 16/100. 1/16th is .0625. Divide 1 by 16.
