Metric weight units (milligrams, grams, kilograms) are based on powers of 10 and used in most countries. Imperial units (ounces, pounds, stone) are used in the US and UK. There are 1000 mg in a gram, 1000 g in a kilogram, 16 ounces in a pound and 14 pounds in a stone.

There are exactly 16 ounces in a pound. This conversion is used daily in US cooking, food labeling and postal measurements. For reference, a standard can of soda is 12 oz (0.75 lb) and a typical chicken breast is about 6-8 oz.

To convert milligrams to grams, divide by 1000. For example, 500 mg equals 0.5 grams. Common supplement doses: vitamin C 1000 mg = 1 g, vitamin D 5000 IU is typically 0.125 mg, and ibuprofen 400 mg = 0.4 g.
