I think a better analogy would be to put two identical cheeseburgers on a scale, and then replace them with the number 1.
Or put a cheeseburger on one side, and some horseshit that weighs the same on the other side. Then replace both with the number 1, and the scale with the equal sign. So now we have cheeseburger = horseshit!

The number 1 is a concept. It has no weight or nutritional value.
The number 1 simply represents the property of the ball's mass. Whatever this mass actually is doesn't matter in terms of equations.
And a pile of horseshit could have the same mass as the ball.
Then the equation is for mass.
