Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 304 grams of lentils
- 1 cup of lentils = 192g
- 304g ÷ 192g/cup = 1.58 cups × 16 = 25.33 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Lentils are dense at 192g per cup. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the beans and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Tablespoon?
