    This is what I found...

    It depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.


    Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in grams of the material will vary. For example, if you fill the cup with lead, the cup will weigh much more than if you fill with feathers. This is why the cup is considered an unnecessary value of measurement, created by America to make things simpler for people who cook by an average, rather than precision.

    Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams
    Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
    Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams

    From these you could choose what is more similar to the consistency of gravy. A cup is a lot...I hope this helps. :flowerforyou:

    Oh, found this one also, yogurt is sort of like gravy, right?

    Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams
