      Weight is in pounds. Only pounds. don’t ask me how much a gram or a ton is.

      Volume, though, I still remember “Gallon Man” from 1st grade.

      2 cups in a pint

      2 pints in a quart

      4 quarts in a gallon

      What’s after gallons? not a clue.

      We use both. Body weight is in pounds, but nutrition is in grams.

      In general we use metric more for smaller, more precise weights and imperial for everything else. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone measure anything except cocaine in kilograms.
