Default grams to an ounce?

my label says a 1 cup serving size or 240 ml. How many grams is that?

A millilitre (ml) is a measure of volume not weight. 1 ml = 1 cc

1 cup IS 240 ml

The US is on the old Imperial system (but in smaller US units) while Canada, UK & many other English-speaking countries work in metric now, along with Europe and most of the rest of the world.

But how do I put in a liquid measure (either cups or ml) in as grams which the program requires?

You just need the weight of that cup. The weight of a cup will differ from one substance to the other. One cup of shredded lettuce is a lot lighter than one cup of oil, etc.

You can use a scale, or get the weight from the label. If neither is availble, compare it to something similar.

For almost all liquids, a cup will weigh 8 oz.

8 oz is about 227 grams.

Here's a nice summary of the issues in converting volume to weight:

convert grams into ounces, multiply by 0.03527 and to convert ounces into grams, multiply by 28.35.

Be careful though. The above is for ounces, not fluid ounces. I'm guessing shakes list the the fluid ounce size (fl oz).

There's a new link on the custom food entry, that will list many of the common conversions, including a couple of fluid conversions to weight.
