Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6.09 pounds of coconut oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 6.09 × 453.59 = 2,762.38g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g

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

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
