Re: so frustrated! how many grams are one cup?

A cup is a measure of volume, not weight, so it's impossible to say how many grams are in a cup; it depends on what you put in that cup. If you fill it with feathers, it will be lighter than if you fill it with nickels.

so i think i am messuring it wrong?

Are you weighing your vegetables?

If you enter them in grams in FitDay, then you should know whether or not you go over 20 net carbs.

And why are you still on Induction?

There is a thread in the Atkins Diet FAQ forum which lists how many grams of most of the induction vegetables would fit into one cup, so you can weigh your veggies.

ahhh elli life safer!!!! thank you just what i was looking for!

georgiana.. i dont know why people messure salad in volume then and not in grams... dont make sense to me... cos a cup of salad could be squashed full with salad, so tight that it would make like 100 gram sor something or i could just put the salad in losly so it weight 20 grams if that makes sense.. but got the link and that is just what i needed thank you!

oh im still on induction phase cos my body is stupid it always takes double the time for my body to learn things
