I have this cereal that says each serving is '3/4 cup (27g)'. My question is this: 3/4 cup= 6oz = 170.09 g. So why is it saying only 27g? Thanks
reading labels On cereals they put the weight in grams per serving size listed n the box which varies highly from one cereal to the next.... when you posted 170g=6oz that is correct for liquids, but cereal being flaky and having pockets of air are measured out by weight
reading labels so what is 3/4 cup of royal basmati rice in grams then? in my fitness pal app, it says 3/4 cup cooked is 150 calories. it doesn't give me an option to put the servings in grams. oh god counting calories just got so much harder I had it all figured out! I've just been using 6 oz as 3/4 cup this whole time! So how would I go about measuring something like rice if the label says the serving is '3/4' cup? lol
reading labels Unfortunantly with MFPals limited bank of foods that is when it comes in handy to have a kitchen scale
reading labels I just bought one the other day actually. So how would I go about measuring the rice, or something like steak, if it doesn't say in the app (or the actual label) what the serving is in grams?
reading labels Measure out 3/4 of a cup... pour it on scale that will give you the grams.... how every that 150 cal is 3/4 cup cooked! so you will have to figure out how much actually makes the 3/4 cup in other words how much water you cook it in and its size of expansion
reading labels When you say measure it out, do you mean to pour it in a cup with lines measure 1/2 cup, 3/4 cups and so on? And how on earth am I supposed to do that last part.
reading labels haha sorry sounds complicated should tell you on the box something like this much rice with this amount of water makes this many servings......
