How Much Is 1.46 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar in Grams?
1.46 tablespoons of granulated sugar equals 18.25 g. Granulated sugar has a density of 200g per cup (12.5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.46 tablespoons of honey would be 31.03 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.46 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
- 1.46 × 12.5 = 18.25g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.
