Just cut out the middle man and start making foods in metric. BBC has good recipes.

My issue is sometimes the listing on my Loseit app won’t have a measurement in grams available for when I go to add something

This is the worst. Also when the serving size says like per “slice” or “serving” who would make an entry like that?

I have a scale that changes measurements with a click of a button so I just weigh it based on what the package says then record it. If my tracker uses a different system, I can find it just by clicking

For my creamer it’s listed in ml on the bottle, so I measured that once in a little shot-glass-sized measuring cup, and weighed that in grams on my scale. Now I just make sure I don’t go over 35 grams worth of creamer, and I don’t have to dirty a measuring cup every single morning.

I’ve become a mathematical genius in the measurements department, lol. You change everything over so much that you finally memorize it.
And worse case, I’m asking alexa while I’m cooking.

Almost all the entries in Cronometer have gram amounts. It’s why I switched to it.

I hate the fact Americans use cups in their recipes. So go ahead and add nine eight’s a cup of rice then three thirds a cup of beef follow by a fourteenth a cup of sugar.
It’s 2023, use grams.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but since 1 cup of liquid is 240 ml, and my scale only has oz/g/kg, I’ve been measuring it out as 240 grams. Is this accurate?
