    Question Measuring Rice (Cup Size)

    So I just found out that I've been doing some of my calculations quite wrong. I found out that there is 186g in a cup (all this time I thought that there was 90g in a cup). So I'm trying to figure out a way to measure my rice.

    I've been using whey protein scoops to measure rice (it says 30g's per scoop), but then when I compared that same scoop with the ones that come in cell tech (they are identical), the cell-tech label says 50g. How do I decide which number to go by, or how do you guys measure your rice?

    why not just use a measuring cup itself?

    And just to be clear on something. So if I use the scoop to measure oatmeal, then say I use it to measure cell-tech powder. That same scoop can result in 30g's of oatmeal, but 50g's of cell-tech powder, correct?

    Right... people keep trying to act like grams are volume. Cup, tsp, milliliter, etc... all VOLUME. Grams... weight.

    go buy a digital scale... it will solve all of your problems. You wanna go by weight, not volume, because different foods have different volume, for example a cup of beans will have alot of empty space, between the beans and weigh lets say 100g, then a cup of oats will have much less space inbetween because they are smaller and weigh say 200g.... big differences there, thats why i just use scales. You can find a good scale at a department store like walmart or something.
