Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 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, Carol G. (who still needs to lose 3 of the 5 lbs she gained from her Tahiti trip...ugh...it was all the %$#$ fruit!)

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! ) Cheri in Denton, TX Lap RNY, 6/23/2000 Starting weight 272 Current weight 134 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ~~ Lyn G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
