Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.49 ounces of cottage cheese
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.49 × 28.35 = 42.24g
- 1 cup of cottage cheese = 226g
- 42.24g ÷ 226g/cup = 0.19 cups × 16 = 2.99 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Spoon cottage cheese into the measuring spoon and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the container, which leaves air pockets.
