So if i take ground beek and put it in 1/2 measuring cup will it be a serving size which = 4 oz?





Some say No its by weight but some say yes?|||It depends on if you measure it before or after cooking. The best way to measure ingredients is to weigh them. If you are getting serving sizes for weight management then a measuring cup is accurate enough.|||It's by weight, not by cup. So if your package is 2.24 lbs, there is 16 oz. in a pound. So that should be 36 ounces, 16oz. x 2 lbs + (1/4 lb which is 4 ozs [1/4 of 16 oz= 4oz]) which equals 36 ounces.





So if you portion it into 9 equal looking pieces, you should have 4 oz portions. When you measure for a diet, it's the weight before cooking that counts, not after.





Hope that helps.
