    I use a converter app on my iphone that does all the math for me lol. I ran into that problem early on when starting MFP. All smartphones should have a free one you can download.

    so when i put it in 1240 kg is 2733 pounds.

    2733 pounds equals 43728 ounces.

    I think it should be 1.240 kg so around 44 oz for the whole package.

    you are definitely looking at 1.240 kg which is 1240 grams (welcome to the metric system!)

    This is about 44 ounces which is about 2.75 lbs

    For future reference ... there are just over 2lbs per kilo
