Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 227g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 681 grams of margarine
  2. 1 cup of margarine = 227g
  3. 681g ÷ 227g/cup = 3 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Margarine in stick form is easiest to measure using the wrapper markings, just like butter. One US stick = 113g = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons.

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 3.00 cups, based on margarine having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 227 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 681 grams: 681 ÷ 227 = 3 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh margarine 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.
Reverse the conversion: 3.00 cups × 227g/cup = 681g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
