I'm trying to count my calories as accurately as possible on MFP. I also bought enough for a weeks worth, I want to spread out this stuff in a week, I'm a really poor student.
I have a 540ml can of black beans. Says one serving is 250ml.
How much will a serving weigh in grams?
Thanks.

What backwater country are you living in that nutrition info isn't printed on the can?
>>37221612
check how many grams 540 ml of beans are. use a ratio to find out how many grams 250 ml is. math.

It's there expect it's in fucking ml

Ill try this hopefully they didn't include the weight of the water in. I have exactly a weeks worth of beans I hope it'll last
Golden rule for counting :
When on a cut : overestimate
When on a bulk : underestimate

Use mfp to scan the can

Are you trying to starve yourself

Take a picture of it and take it to your barber

W... what are you exactly studying where you can't figure out the weight of the food you're eating?

Dont you kids pay attention in school
D = m/v
1.08 g/ml * 540ml = 0.5832 kg Total
1.08g/ml * 250ml = 0.270 kg serving size
There of course is a bit of water in there with a density of 1g/ml but im sure its negligible in the end, you could just reduce the final weights by like 0.010kg to represent the 10ml-ish of water in each serving.

>hopefully they didn't include the weight of the water in
they do. or at least the shitty black beans i got from target did. the can said "3.5 servings of 130 g," and there was only ~260 g of actual beans when i measured it.

Maybe he doesn't have a scale.
