Pro Tips for Weight Conversion

Remember the basics: 1 kilogram equals approximately 2.2 pounds. This simple ratio helps you quickly estimate conversions in your head.
Precision matters: For cooking, use precise decimal measurements. For general estimates, rounding to one decimal place is usually sufficient.
Compound conversions: When converting body weight like "150 lbs 8 oz", use our compound input feature rather than converting to decimal pounds first.
International standards: Most countries use kilograms and grams, while the US primarily uses pounds and ounces. Always check which system your audience expects.
