I would check out nutritiondata.com. They often have options to choose from certain foods that show the volume and weight in parentheses. Won't be 100% hit, but good enough. You might have to extrapolate a bit too as it'll show maybe 1c (xxg) and you'll only need 1/2 c

Here's what I know without much research:
1/2C oats=40g
1/2C cottage cheese = approx 113g

1T = 15g dry weight, but I think it depends on the food
1T=3tsp, so about 5g

On the eggs, I guess I would just shoot for the same liquid volume. Either check out the weight of a yolk and an egg white (I used to know!) and try to get close. If you find it's too runny, you can always add a tad bit more oats. I'd guess 8whites=4-5 whole eggs.

Good luck. And I am SO making these. I love carrot cake!

PS I bet they'd be good without any sweeteners...pinapple, raisins and carrots are sweet. You really need a volume comparison if you're going to use splenda. I tried it by weight once and was sooooo wrong. It measures volume by volume, but it does NOT equal up by weight.
