Question?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know where I can find a chart that converts liquid

measurements to grams? IE..A cup of Asparagus would equal how many

grams of carbohydrates?

Thanks,

Hi Carol,

I use a website called www.nutrawatch.com to compute all my

calories, fat grams, protein grams, carbs, etc. I can also post all

of my exercise and it will chart my net calories, weight loss, daily

nutrition, etc. You can search their list of foods and you can add

custom foods using the nutrition information off of commercially

prepared foods or recipies you've created. It is free to join for

the basics and I paid the extra $14 per year for all the extras. It

was definately worth it for me. I'm pretty anal about keeping track

of things in the most geeky way I can! )

It doesn't work that way -- grams of carbs depend entirely on the food. A

cup of milk has 10-11. A cup of meat has none. Even carb-y foods differ in

how many carbs per given amount. A cup of white flour and a cup of white

sugar do not have the same grams of carbs.

There is a website called fitday.com where you can keep your food diary for

the day. You can plug in the food you want to eat, and how much of it, and

it will tell you all the values for that food, except sugar (wish they would

add that one). You can also customize it with food labels, so that if you

eat, for example, 3/4 cup of something that says on its packaging is 1 cup

per serving, you can put in all the info from the label, and then just

multiply by the actual amount eaten.
