So how much is an ounce?

It can be frustrating trying to convert measurements. However it is important to know. Let's use cheese as an example, because it's good. Serving size 2 oz. Well how am I supposed to know how much that is if I don't have a food scale? Here is the formula.

2 ounces = 4 tablespoons
1 ounce  = 2 tablespoons

If you think of it as butter it's easy. 16 oz = 1 pound. Butter is usually sold by the pound.
If you have 1 pound of butter in 4 sticks, each stick is 4 ounces. 1 stick of butter has 8 tablespoons.

This is very important for recipes, as well as caloric & nutritional value.
