You should only include zeros after the decimal point if the scale is accurate to the number of zeros you include.
For example, if a scale is accurate to 1/100th of a gram, and an object weighs exactly 2 grams, it's correct to list the weight as 2.00 grams.
However, if the scale is only accurate to 1 gram, then you should list the weight of the object as 2 grams. Adding extra zeros implies accuracy that does not exist. With such a scale, your object could weigh anything between 1.50 and 2.49 grams and the scale would always show 2 grams.
