  I ounce equals around 28 grams. Google can do conversions for you (just type "convert grams to ounces" in the search bar and it will give you a mass conversion utility online).

  Look for the data entry in grams. Most people use grams so they're probably already in the database.

  The best entries are in grams. I'm in the US and log almost everything in grams.

  If you have an iPhone, Siri can do all the conversions for you on the fly if you just ask her. I'm sure Android has something similar.
