- •Daily Consumption: Calculates based on eating patterns and frequency
- •Duration Analysis: Determines how long containers will last
- •Cost Projection: Estimates monthly and annual spending
- •Nutritional Impact: Provides calorie estimates for awareness
Measurement Conversions
• 1 teaspoon: 5 cm³ or 5 mL
• 1 tablespoon: 3 teaspoons or 15 cm³
• Density formula: Weight (g) = Volume (cm³) × Density (g/cm³)
• Custom spreads: Weigh 1 teaspoon and divide by 5 for density
