Online conversion tools are great for occasional use, but the point of MFP is to be quick and easy to use, having to visit an online conversion site before inputting EVERYTHING is an additional hassle. A simple filter could just get rid of cups (or mls or fl oz etc)0

You need to buy a set of measuring cup...you will find them in cooking section at walmart or any store..if you can't find just ask sales clerk they can help.0

They don't mean "cups" (which is a slang word or a glass or coffee mug). They mean an actual cup (an amount). You can buy measuring cups at the store which are presized and come in 1/4 cups, 1/3 cups, 1/2 cups, and 1 cup. 1 cup= 8 ounces.
That is the biggest mistake I see when people are trying to get their 8 cups of water in a day on here. They don't mean a glass. A glass is usually equal to 2 cups or 16 ounces of water! A cup is an actualy scientific measuring amount.0 -
One Medium onion is about 44-46 calories. One cup is also 8 oz.0

Cups is a 'cross the pond' aberration and is confusing and pointless to those of us on this side of the pond. But this is a US based site with mainly US based users and so that is what you are going to find I am afraid. Just shout at the computer like I do *CUP?? CUP??? HOW MUCH IS AN EFFIN CUP???' it helps me no end.

Kwardkinck yes I do use lots of recipes but they all use ounces or grams or ml's I do not have one recipe book that measures in cups0

Search through them all. I can usually find one that does cups, grams or whole products.
A scale may be handy for this case?
For the most parts a cup is about the size of your hand and I count that no matter the density or mass of the chopped whole foods.0 -
A cup is a thing that holds liquid so you can drink it........lol im sorry i couldnt resist:flowerforyou:0
