1 kg = 1000 g
About the weight category
Mass and weight: from food portions and parcels to body weight and cargo.
You will reach for these conversions when cooking from US recipes that list ingredients in ounces or pounds instead of grams, or checking airline baggage limits on carriers that use pounds.

Popular weight conversions
Common mistakes
- Confusing ounce (weight) with fluid ounce (volume) in recipes; they are only equal for water
- Assuming 100 kg equals 100 pounds: it is about 220 lb, a factor of 2.2
