Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.99 ounces of cottage cheese
- Convert ounces to grams: 15.99 × 28.35 = 453.31g
- 1 cup of cottage cheese = 226g
- 453.31g ÷ 226g/cup = 2.01 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Spoon cottage cheese into the measuring cup and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the container, which leaves air pockets.
