protein rating in dail charting

CMV21

I am new to this site and love the simple process of adding food to a daily food chart. this morning I chose a protein breakfast, 1 cup or 3.5 oz of ground turkey, sauteed with small amount onions and mushrooms. my protein already reads as 74 g; that can't be correct, can it?

No, the turkey might be as much as half of that protein. I'd double check your units - perhaps you logged a lot more mushroom than you consumed - I usually weigh my food in grams, every once in a while I'll accidentally log the wrong unit and have way more in my diary than I intended.

The problem is in your original question. 1 cup is not equivalent to 3.5 oz.
