    A little trivia about the male cup. It was invented in 1873 to protect the jewels. The helmet to protect head/brain injuries wasn't invented for another 21 years.

    it depends but i use the 8oz weighted. It depends on the package of the product you're consuming. If it says ml then they suck because volume measurements are for newbs.

    Actually, no, not for newbs. A "cup" of water it the same as it's weight. 8 fl oz or 8 oz by weight. The same holds true for egg whites and clarified butter. It is a culinary term.

    Fluid oz measure volume, regular oz measure weight.

    its forever on the serving sizes when i input my food but have no clue how much it actually means!

    I'm guessing you are not in the US. Most of the measurements in the database are done in US measurements. Here's a link to a conversion site you can use for more sane measurements:

    Just click on volume for liquids or weight for dry measures. Then you can convert to ml, grams, or whatever you typically you use. FWIW, we are totally lost when something is measured in grams, too. :)

    A cup is a liquid measure. It is exactly 250mL. I don't get the other amounts given at all. It is a metric measurement, 1/4 of a liter which is exactly 1000 mL, so one cup is 250mL.


    1 US cup = 236.588237 ml
    A cup is not a metric measurement and in the US it is 1/4 of a Quart, not a litre.

    1 US quart = 946.352946 ml

    my British measuring cup is 10 oz, our pints are bigger too..... took me ages to figure this out and if you are putting solids into a cup how loose or well packed they are can make 20% + difference
