About Gram and Microgram
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 microgram is one millionth of a gram. It appears on supplement labels (often as mcg or µg) for vitamins like B12 and D, and in toxicology and air-quality limits. One Gram equals 1000000 Micrograms (1 g = 1000000 ug). Gram is used in cooking and baking recipes and in nutrition labels. Microgram is used in vitamin labels (mcg).
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).
