How Much Is 0.55 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil in Grams?
0.55 tablespoons of coconut oil weighs 7.49 g. This is based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.55 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.55 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil = 13.63g
- 0.55 × 13.63 = 7.49g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring spoon for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
