Assessing an individual or group food intakes is easier when available information is in metric measurements as all food data in food composition tables are in 100 grams basis. With available data on food weights and measures, it aids in assessing an individual or a population nutritional status that yields to developing intervention programs and food-based dietary guidelines. This book provides an estimate weight of Asian ingredients using the household measure of one cup.
