    Wiki says: Weigh it if possible... Four ounces of beef is one quarter of a pound (16 ounces to the pound).
    Volume depends on the texture of the meat. 4 oz. is somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 cup before anything is added.


    I just Google if I'm not sure of something...everything is on Google!:wink::laugh:

    I found this post 7 years after the post but no answer so- when I got home yesterday, the food scale I ordered was delivered! and to answer this question, I took a measuring CUP and filled it with 'scrambled' cooked ground turkey (93% lean) and it was approximately 5 oz. this is give or take in how you pack the cup i imagine- I just scooped it out and lightly pressed it in. Of course the chunks have some space between so, 5 oz is the closest approximation of cup to oz conversion that I can offer! Just happy to offer that up seeing I've looked for the answer for over a month since I started using MFP- I've been "guesstimating." So plug in 5 oz anyway- the few less calories it may miss won't kill you!

    Much better to weigh before cooking, then weigh again after cooking to know what % of the cals you are getting in your portion. Most cals are listed for raw weight.
