food scale vs. measuring cup

Bros,


Recently bought a food scale to measure my food out, It's pretty cool and definately keeps me in line. Yesterday i made 1/4 cup of white rice. the package says serving size 1/4 cup(??g) but when i put the right amount on the the scale it is nowhere close to the 1/4 cup mark on my measuring cup. anybody ever check this out?

go by the scale.

i found the same thing that whenever i used the measuring cup for something like oatmeal or rice it was at least double the serving size weight.

i too have a scale and found that most measuring cups are way too big. they are the most inaccurate things, and i haven't used one since i got my scale.
