Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 150g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 69 grams of cornmeal
  2. 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
  3. 69g ÷ 150g/cup = 0.46 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Cornmeal weigh 150g per cup when dry. Cooked weight per cup will be different.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.46 cups, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 150 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 69 grams: 69 ÷ 150 = 0.46 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal 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: 0.46 cups × 150g/cup = 69g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
