16 oz = 1 pound (lb) = 453.592 g.
The university of Iowa maintains "The Tiniest Babies" registry 1 and according to that, the smallest living baby was 230 grams (~8.1 oz). Given that, we imagine a plausible low value to be 7 oz (or 198 g). According to Guiness world records, Juan Pedro Franco Salas weighted over 1,300 lbs (20,800 oz). Given that, if we imagine a person can weigh 1,500 lbs, then the plausible high value should be 24,000 oz or 680388.6 g.
