Frequently Asked Questions

About 629.78 oz, based on cheddar cheese (shredded) having a density of 113g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 113 (grams per cup for cheddar cheese (shredded)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 158 cups: 158 × 113 = 17,854g, then 17,854 ÷ 28.3495 = 629.78 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
