funny...when I started measuiring things a cup was a very small amount and a tbsp of peanut butter? OMG...who were they kidding? I eat that much just tasting before I actually start chomping...now though...I have learned to appreciate the amounts...hey ...see that cup..that is it pal...so now a cup is the amount and I can be happy with it ...can't change it so might as well be happy

Good stuff! Thanks guys.

Dave- I've just checked and actually all I have in my cupboard are massive mugs..I reckon one of those ought to do as a 'cup' measure..

Only joking fitness fans....

Hi there

Like me you're in the UK and as I understand, a cup is an American measurement of liquids equivalent to 8 fluid oz.

Beware too because in USA 2 cups = 1 pint but the pint is a different size to ours.

1 cup = 8 fl oz or 224 ml
2 cups = 16 fl oz (1 US pint)
2.5 cups = 20 fl oz (1 UK pint)

Hope that helps and good to see you here
