  3. = 200 g

How to convert us cups to grams

1 cup = 200 g, so multiply by 200 to go from US cups to grams of granulated sugar. Going the other way, 1 g = 0.005 cup.

g = cup × 200
cup = g × 0.005

Cups and spoons convert to weight using the weight per cup for granulated sugar shown in the result; how the ingredient is measured (spooned, packed, sifted) changes it.

Worked example:

5 cup = 1182.9411825 mL
× 0.845351 g/mL (USDA FDC 169655, 1 cup = 200 g) = 1000 g
= 1000 g
