Default Weight of vegetables per cup measure

Ok what I have done ages ago is I went to the usda website and made a list of all veggies we're allowed and looked up what they say is the weight for one cup, so now I can be sure always to make the right measurements, cause I weigh everything.
It has al measurements also in grams, so the first amount you see is for 1 cup, then half a cup, a quarter cup and a third cup.
Maybe this helps, it worked for me very well cause I don't like measuring with cups, gives me the feeling I can cheat too easy with it, dunno.

Salads (2 or 3 cups of these) :

1 cup alfalfa = 33 gr = 1,2 oz ½=0,6 ¼=0,3 1/3=0,4

1 cup butter head, Boston, bib lettuce = 55 gr = 1,9 oz ½=0,95 ¼=0,48 1/3=0,6

1 cup chopped celery = 101 gr = 3,6 oz ½=1,8 ¼=0,9 1/3=1,2

1 cup cucumber = 104 gr = 3,7 oz ½=1,85 ¼=0,93 1/3=1,23

1 tbs chives = 3 gr = 0,1 oz

1 cup rhubarb = 122 gr = 4,3 oz ½=2,15 ¼=1,08 1/3=1,43

1 cup sauerkraut = 142 gr = 5 oz ½=2,5 ¼=1,25 1/3=1,67

1 cup scallions, green onions = 100 gr = 3,5 oz ½=1,75 ¼=0,88 1/3=1,17

1 cup turnips = 130 gr = 4,6 oz ½=2,3 ¼=1,15 1/3=1,53

[edit] I realize some people have trouble understanding the way I wrote up this list, I made this list for myself to use and then at a certain point came to the conclusion a lot of other people that prefer weighing their food over measuring it in cups could have great use for this list, but I never changed it, only copy and pasted it from my own computer and of course I understand my way of writing, LOL
So to clarify:
1 cup alfalfa = 33 gr = 1,2oz
1/2 cup=0,6oz
1/4 cup=0,3oz
1/3 cup=0,4oz
So that is what the mumbo jumbo after the grams come from, I hope this helps to get rid of the confusion!
Happy losing!!!!
