How do I convert

[basketballbelly]

cups into ounces. I did not measure my stuff today but I have my scale (yep, I keep a scale in my desk drawer...lol). How do I concert 2 cups of salad veggies into ounces?

Re: How do I convert

Well, there really is no "rule" that converts weight to volume for any food since they have different densities... but what you can do is see how many carbs 2 cups of veggies have, then figure out (in FitDay) how many ounces have the same amount of carbs.

Of course, you could also simply enter your veggies in cups.

Um, a cup is a size unit of measure (I think it's technically called fluid) where your scale would be weight. They're different.. like, a cup of sand is quite a few more ounces than a cup of feathers... get it?

Other than that, there are 8oz in a cup.

There is a sticky where someone went and measured most of cups of the legal vegetables.

Thanks Liv and others! I am looking at the sticky now...

One cup of cucumber looks like this:

1 cup cucumber = 104 gr = 3,7 oz ½=1,85 ¼=0,93 1/3=1,23


They are all written like that.

What does 1/2-1,85 I don't understand the 1,85

thanks

It means half a cup is 1.85 oz
A third cup is 1.23 oz

I thought that might be what it was but wanted to be sure.

That is a great resource, I printed it off both for home and work!
