Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.71g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 15 teaspoons of cottage cheese
1 teaspoon of cottage cheese = 4.71g
15 × 4.71 = 70.63g
Convert grams to ounces: 70.63 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.49 oz

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