The lighter version of the mod is probably what was intended since in Fallout 4 a can of Pork n' Beans weighs 0.5 and a junk can (steel, tin, or aluminininum) weighs 0.1.
Hey, we all know some things are bigger on the inside. So it only makes sense they are heavier when emptied. It's all just wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff. :P

That's why it's the author's choice
I always press my carry weight to the limit, and thought it made no sense at all that I became overencumbered & lethargic after eating a can of beans.
Maybe the beans are drugged?!?
