Ok, So I was making a homemade meal last night and tried to measure out everything so I can calculate proper calories. Most of the things I used had a serving size of 2 oz or 3 oz. What is the conversion to cups So I can better understand what I'm doing?

Thank you!! :)

    8oz = 1 cup, so 2 oz. would be 1/4 cup.

    Is that the same for solid food like pasta and shrimp?

    Maybe getting a food scale would be helpful with the pasta and shrimp. I LOVE using my food scale.

    2 oz of dried pasta = 1 cup cooked pasta

    For solids, it's better to weigh them if you can since 2oz of liquid compared to 2oz of solid is a lot different (ie, a 1lb brick takes up a different amount of space than 1lb worth of feathers -- crap analogy, but I hope you get the idea).
