Grams of what? Different substances have different densities. A "bowl" of popcorn will be much lighter than a "bowl" of soup.
This is why a food scale is an important tool. Put your bowl on a scale, zero it out, put in 100grams or whatever you are going for.16 -
Everything weighs differently, so a cup of "x" isn't going to weigh the same as a cup of "y".0

There is really no way to know. It will be different for different foods. That is why you need to use a food scale and weigh your food in grams.1

A bowl of rice is going to weight a heck of a lot different than a bowl of rice crispies. It's not an easy answer.1

Get an inexpensive food scale and measure your servings. Put the bowl on the scale, tare it to "0" and then add your items to get the reading.3

Are we talking about a bowl of fat or muscle?40

Please get a food scale and do not use measuring cups.. You will never get your intake down without a scale.1

I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but a cup and a gram aren't in the same category. A cup/bowl is a measurement of volume, a gram is a measurement of weight. Going with the trend of the rest of the thread, a food scale is your best friend! Hope that helps!2

Its kind of like asking how many leaves are on a tree. It depends on other variables so there is not a single correct answer.4

How big of a bowl? And a bowl of what and how full is the bowl? A bowl isn't a unit of measurement and grams doesn't convert to cups or bowls.0

Just being nit picky but a bowl is a unit of measurement. It's just not standard unit of measuring volume. But if you have a recipe that calls for one part to one part to two parts, you could use that bowl for your measurement and get the correct end product.6 -

That's not a conversion you can do...you can't take a volume measurement and convert it to weight...you need to get a food scale.2 -

If it's water and you are using the metric system you can. I love the metric system.3 -

A cup of ball bearings weighs more than a cup of feathers. Buy a scale.0

You have to ignore entries with serving sizes of "bowl" "cup" "slice" etc. Search for your item with 100g tagged on or ounces .. ie "blueberries 100g" "tomato soup oz"2

Gram is a measure of weight. Cup is a measure of volume. Bowls are serving dishes and have no reliable standard measure.3

Also, not all bowls are the same size, so this question is impossible to answer. I have 3 different sized bowls in my cupboard, salad, soup and desert. Regardless of which one is being used, I zero it out on my scale, and then weigh my food in grams.0
