Question

Do you guys measure your vegetables in an actual measuring cup? Or do you use measurement conversions from cups to oz? I’ve been doing a lot of googling and can’t even find consistent conversions from cups to oz, every site I find says something different!  

Answer 1

By weight using a food scale

Comments

My coach gave me a conversion sheet for what 1 cup is in grams and ounces for each vegetable

---

If you have the cook book the conversion is in the book also look under the files I think it is there also

Answer 2

I use a measuring cup.  

Answer 3

Measuring cup

Answer 4

By weight using a food scale. Look in the files for the chart that lists measurements.  

Answer 5

I used a cup

Answer 6

Does this help? Can you see?  

Comments

@contractile I’m a coach and I had them in my file cabinet

Answer 7

I don’t know if this helps or will add more confusion but my coach said to use a scale because using a cup doesn’t measure the veggies accurately according to the conversion sheet ‍♀️

Answer 8

I weigh my vegetables. There is a chart in the cookbook I use that measures them in oz

Answer 9

I weigh them. I have the chart that lists how much a cup of each allowed veggie weighs on my frig next to the scale.  

Answer 10

I weigh them. Much more accurate.  

Comments

@bethanie I weigh them too, and go off this same chart!  

Answer 11

Food Scale. Most Accurate

Answer 12

Weighing your vegetables and lean oritein before cooking is the most accurate way to measure your food.  

Answer 13

I use my measuring cups

Answer 14

I weigh them on a scale.  

Answer 15

I use the measuring cup for my vegetables and the scale for my meat

Answer 16

I cannot believe that I am saying this. but I have been weighing my vegetables on a scale using the IP Vegetable Weight Chart. (Chart posted above by @bethanie. )

Answer 17

I lost 120lb on IP and never once weighed or measured my vegies. Just a handful for a cup. give or take a few. It is not going to hurt or stop you from losing. I would be more concerned about oil when cooking or dressing a salad.  

Answer 18

Never weigh any food

Answer 19

Weighing in grams is the gold standard. Find a scale, it is worth it!  

Answer 20

I like to prep my vegetables ahead of time. I cut or chop my turnips up and put it all in a container. Then I can just measure out 2 cups on my food scale using the weight chart. I like to use grams since it is easier to divide if I want a partial cup to use with another vegetable. Gosh, did that make sense.  

Answer 21

Your coach should be able to give you a sheet with correct weight fir each veggie. Mine gave me one.
