Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 168g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 28 grams of chocolate chips
  2. 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
  3. 28g ÷ 168g/cup = 0.17 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Chocolate chips weigh 168g per cup. Different chip sizes (mini, standard, jumbo) pack differently, so the weight per measuring cup varies with the size.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.17 cups, based on chocolate chips having a density of 168g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 168 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 28 grams: 28 ÷ 168 = 0.17 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh chocolate chips 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 0.17 cups × 168g/cup = 28g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
