You should follow whichever is easiest for you to understand. I personally have a hard time looking at food and figuring out how many grams it is, so I use cups, because that is a measurement I'm used to seeing. If you are following a menu plan that asks you to weigh your food, your scale will have a grams option, and make the grams option easier.
