Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 205g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 615 grams of lard
  2. 1 cup of lard = 205g
  3. 615g ÷ 205g/cup = 3 cups × 16 = 48.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Lard and butter have similar densities per cup (lard is 205g vs butter at 227g), but they are not interchangeable by weight in recipes because the flavor and moisture content differ.

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 Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 48.00 tbsp, based on lard having a density of 205g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 205 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 615 grams: 615 ÷ 205 = 3 cups × 16 = 48.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh lard on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon 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: 48.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 3 cups, then 3 × 205g/cup = 615g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
