About Gram and Milligram
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 milligram is one thousandth of a gram, or a millionth of a kilogram. Medication dosages and trace nutrient amounts are stated in milligrams. One Gram equals 1000 Milligrams (1 g = 1000 mg). Gram is used in cooking and baking recipes and in nutrition labels. Milligram is used in medication dosages.
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.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
