Karen,
Thanks for the response and the links. I know that we use the measuring cup to measure 8 fluid ounces which is a measure of volume. whereas, when we measure weight, say a pound, or 16oz, we are measuring in mass. And one 8oz of fluid does not equal 8oz of something weighed. To quote you " A cup is 8oz in volume, but it is not 8oz in weight". I totally get and understand this.
When I want to measure fluid, I'll use the measuring cups. When I want to measure solids, I'll use the scale and measure by weight. I'm assuming when i measure out something in weight on the scale, say by the oz, I can just put that number into fitday, and it will give me the correct stats for cals, fats, carbs, etc.... Or am I way off in thinking this?
I've notice a lot of things on Fitday are by the cup, but they give the option, most of the time to refresh the nutrients to 1oz, and then depending on how many oz you have, you can make the appropriate change. I'm assuming this 1oz is for weight not volume????
I also noticed that fitday takes into account cooked or uncooked. Which means I can either measure something before it is cooked, or measure it after it is cooked? But I think i will measure it before it is cooked to get a more accurate weight measurement/reading????
Again, sorry to bombard you with this question, as you have gone over it many times already.
TIA for all your help
