When I look up some foods, it uses 'pz', e.g. chicken breasts, 4.0 pz. What doesn pz stand for? I am assuming it is not 4 pieces because that would be too many! But I don't know what it means which makes it hard to pick the right food option for my food diary.

    Maybe someone trying to put in oz but hitting the wrong key?

    I would guess it's a typo, and they were going for oz = ounces.

    P and O are literally next to each other on the keyboard. It's a typo.

    I think it's a typo, but I feel you, OP. I noticed this on the verified chicken breast entry. It shouldn't be verified with such a glaring typo.

    I'm thinking oz as well.
