| 1/3 cup | 72 g | 2.54 oz |
| 1/2 cup | 108 g | 3.81 oz |
| 2/3 cup | 144 g | 5.08 oz |
| 3/4 cup | 162 g | 5.71 oz |
| 1 cup | 216 g | 7.62 oz |
| 1 1/2 cups | 324 g | 11.4 oz |
| 2 cups | 432 g | 15.2 oz |
| 3 cups | 648 g | 22.9 oz |
| 1 tbsp | 13.5 g | 0.48 oz |

| 1/2 tsp | 2.3 g | 0.08 oz |
Each row is USDA’s 1-cup weight (216 g) times the amount. A tablespoon is 1/16 cup and a teaspoon is 1/48 cup, so 1 tbsp = 216 ÷ 16 = 13.5 g. Ounces are grams ÷ 28.3495. USDA also weighed small measures on their own (1 tablespoon: 13.5 g; 1 tsp: 4.5 g). Those can differ from the cup-based rows by a few tenths of a gram because each weight is rounded.
Olive oil grams to cups
| Weight | Cups | Closest measure |
|---|---|---|
| 25 g | 0.12 | 1 tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp |
| 50 g | 0.23 | 3 tbsp + 2 tsp |
| 100 g | 0.46 | 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp + 1/4 tsp |
| 200 g | 0.93 | 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp |
| 250 g | 1.16 | 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp |
| 500 g | 2.31 | 2 1/4 cups + 1 tbsp |
Cups = grams ÷ 216. The last column rounds to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon using a standard set of cups and spoons.

Measuring olive oil by the cup
Oils measure like other liquids: use a liquid measuring cup on a level surface. Solid fats are easier to weigh than to press into a cup.
