Standard measuring units
In the preparation of food we often use standard measuring units - cups, spoons and teaspoons, to measure the quantity of ingredients. Since each ingredient has a different weight, the table below can help you determine the exact weight of the ingredients which you have added in "standard measuring units".
When you do not manage to weigh the consumed food, specify the portion size (e.g. 1 glass (2 dl, 3 dl) of water, a cup of milk, a piece of bread with 1 teaspoon butter, 1 small plate of roasted potatoes, a piece of cake with 2 teaspoons cream, etc.).
