Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.66 cups of cottage cheese
- 1 cup of cottage cheese = 226g
- 0.66 × 226 = 149.16g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cottage cheese should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold cottage cheese holds air pockets that change the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
