Grams. I was never taught ounces. Though I was also never taught pounds and that's what I weigh myself in!
Cups etc aren't measurements used where I live.0 -
I'm in Canada. My food scale does both metric and Imperial but I prefer metric (grams).0

I use metric as I'm from Australia but I've also got imperial on my scale0

Bump for later... Thank you0

Depends on what the label has listed. Sometimes it just says Tbs so I enter a new food item listed as grams so I don't have to work the math every single time.0
-
I try to measure everything (exept liquids) in grams - the only time I use ounces is when I can't find a gram measurement in the data base.0

I forgot to add that my scale does: grams..Milliliters..Fluid ounces, and ounces0

1 ounce is 28g is it not?
I just use grams. For servings that comes in ounces though, I use ounces.0 -
Grams - get more numbers for your money
2oz or 50g - no brainer0 -
Cups and other measurements pertaining solely to volume are fairly antiquated and largely useless to me. Grams make the most sense, but ounces are fine, too. I don't have the ability (or the will) to try to cram everything I eat into cups, but I can easily weigh it.0

Metric in Canada.
psh I am Canadian and use lbs, miles, feet etc.
I like grams personally and if I can't find an entry I make one0 -
In Europe and on the metric system here, although I was raised in America. I can use either. For accuracy you can't beat the metric system.0

well it depends doesn't it? my scale has a few options, including grams and ounces. depending on what the serving size is listed in, grams or ounces, i use either/or.0

Only grams for me.
Not even sure if my scale does imperial measurements.
And in Australia all food is packaged in grams ( or liquids in mls)0 -

Canada used to teach the imperial system. I grew up learning metric. My parents still use the imperial measurements though. Probably depends what you grew up with and learned.0 -
I use both, my scales mark every 25g or every 1oz so I use whichever gives me a line to weigh against. I tend to use lbs/ozs for baking and grams for weighing snacks.0
