ok so i have a digital scale that measures in grams however i notice that when i try to enter portion size on here sometimes i can only do it in cups... Can anyone help me with this frustrationg diffuculty. I dont see it being very effective for me to have to convert... If there is nothing i can do about this can you recommend a resonably priced food scale to purchase? Please and Thank you!!!

    i use a scale that has a measuring cup as the thing you put the food in.

    also, sometimes if you click the drop down menu, you can change units of measure. I don't think you can for all of them, but I always check just to make sure.

    1 GALLON =
    4 quarts
    8 pints
    16 cups
    128 oz
    3.8 liters

    1 quart =
    2 pints
    4 cups
    32 oz
    .95 liters

    1 pint =
    2 cups
    16 oz 480 mililiters

    1 cup is 8 oz
    240 mililiters

    1/4 cup =
    4 tablespoons
    12 teaspoons
    2 oz
    60 mililiters

    1 tablespoon =
    3 teaspoons
    1/2 oz
    15 mililiters

    Hope that helps a bit

    most of the foods listed are usually shown twice so if you find only measuremnt in cups try another as it should then be listed in 100g. I usually use the 0.5 if im doing 50g which im sure is obvious :). Iv only found a few items iv had to add myself but i think that has been the problem with duplications of foods.

    :)
