Macros WW pasta vs. Sweet potatoes

[JKurz1]

Correct, so it look like a 6oz yam has 48 carbs and 4oz of pasta has roughly 40? Is this accurate?

Yeah, but that link takes you to 1 cup = 8 FLUID ounces, so is 1 cup the same as 8 SOLID ounces???

hmmm......

Here's a basic chart of measuring equivalents.


Dry Measuring Equivalents
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 ml
1/8 cup = 2 tablespoons = 30 ml
1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons = 50 ml
1/3 cup = 5-1/3 tablespoons = 75 ml
1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 125 ml
2/3 cup = 10-2/3 tablespoons = 150 ml
3/4 cup = 12 tablespoons = 175 ml
1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 250 ml
Liquid Measuring Equivalents
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 1/2 pint
2 cups = 16 fluid ounces = 1 pint = 1/2 quart
4 cups = 32 fluid ounces = 2 pints = 1 quart
8 cups = 64 fluid ounces = 4 pints = 2 quarts

Liquid Measures Conversion
c: cup; tbs: tablespoon; ts: teaspoon; oz: ounce; mL: mililiter
1 c = 16 tbs = 48 ts = 8 oz = mL
Solid Measures Conversion
lb: pound; oz: ounce; g: gram; kg: kilo
1 lb = 16 oz = 454 g = .454 kg




anyone want to figure it out? lol

lol....great stuff, but not gonna help in this case

It's pretty easy:

What are the macros for 4oz cooked pasta?

What are the macros for a 6oz yam?

 

[JKurz1]

calorieking shows 4oz cooked pasta at 30g of carbs


and a 6oz yam around 47.....never thought there was that big of a difference...hell, I need em BOTH!
