About Gram and Pound

The gram is one thousandth of a kilogram. Recipes, nutrition labels, and postal scales work in grams because the kilogram is too coarse for them. The pound (avoirdupois) is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms under the 1959 international agreement. Body weight, groceries, and shipping in the US run on pounds. One Gram equals 0.002204622622 Pounds (1 g = 0.002204622622 lb). Gram is used in cooking and baking recipes and in nutrition labels. Pound is used in body weight in the US.

Precision and Rounding:Metric-imperial mass factors are exact (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 agreement), so precision is purely a display choice. One decimal place is enough for body weight and cooking; nutrition labeling, pharmacy, and lab work need the full factor before rounding.
