How Do I Change From Metric to Empirical Measurements?

Faewing

I am using Cronometer again after having been away from it for a while. What I have found is that all of the measurements are metric now where before they were (or I could chose) empirical. How do I display measurements for my foods in empirical? Otherwise this service is much less useful for me since I will now need to measure everything on a digital scale since all of my measuring devices are in cups and table/teaspoons and I eat mostly fresh foods or foods prepared by myself, not foods where I can scan bar codes.

How do I change measurements back to empirical?

Thank you for any help with this, I'm hoping it is a simple setting that I am missing . . . . .

Imerial units are included in some food entries. All NCCDB foods contain serving size options with Imperial measurements, such as ounces. Learn more about data sources here: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018239472-Data-Sources

How do I change measurements to metric? Eg change coffee from ounces to ML?

Use the drop-down menu for the serving size when you're adding a food to your diary to see more serving sizes available for a food. Lab-analyzed foods, like the NCCDB source above, will include weight-based serving sizes too (grams). For liquids with a similar density to water, like coffee, 1 mL ~ 1 g. Select the gram serving size and enter in your serving.

If you're using brand name items that haven't given a weight based serving size, you can edit a copy of a food to enter in a serving size that makes adding it to your diary quicker and easier.
