Berardi's recipes - US vs. Euro serving sizes

[Nutty]

This question is probably better answered by those who read Berardi at some point. Still everyone is free to help... and help is welcomed!
I've just read The Metabolism Advantage and i'm in doubt in what concerns serving sizes specially regarding the book's supershakes. Berardi has 3 recipes for supershakes. I've tried them and i get almost 1L of drink. He states that those recipes make for one serving. I make 2 servings with that amount of "juice" and find it quite filling in my stomach... Is 1 serving really that "big"?
Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 Cups of water
1 Apple
4 TSP of oatmeal
4 TSP of flax
3 TSP of Low Fat Yogurt
3 TSP of mixed berries
1 SCOOP of Whey protein

By the way, the recipes are full of OUNCE, SCOOP, PINT, TBS, TSP, CUP, etc. Can anyone point me to what these all mean in ml and g. I've searched the web but again i find the servings to big and even some differences from website to website (not to mention from UK to US).

google.com is the most convenient conversion tool, nutritiondata.com is the 2nd most convenient (it is on the search page)

In the google search area just put your question as an equation:
1.5 cups = ? ml
and search and the answer will come out
similarly
3 tsp = ? ml

most protein scoops are 30 cc

The other thing you can do for whole foods is look at the USDA database and look at the volume measure for a food and note the gram wt and then convert accordingly.

For example, it shows 1 C oatmeal is 81g. There are 48 tsp in 1 cup so 4 tsp is 1/12 of a cup. 1/12 of 81g = 6.75g oatmeal for 3 tsp.

FYI - I can't see that recipe properly measured making 1L - it should come out about about 0.5L
