I AM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE. started actively logging my food intake and exercising on the 6th of Jan 2014, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what a cup (eg a cup of sliced bananas) is a cup equal to say 1litre on a measuring cup or is it like a rice cooker cup which is about 160-180 ml. is there a standard cup?…
