How Much Is 146 Grams of Chia Seeds in Cups?
146 grams of chia seeds equals 0.90 cups. Chia seeds has a density of 163g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 146 grams of chia seeds
- 1 cup of chia seeds = 163g
- 146g ÷ 163g/cup = 0.90 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh chia seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
