Musli / granola - about how much is 50g in cups?

in Food and Nutrition
I bought some musli to make my own trail mix and I would like to know the nutritional value. The box provides nutrition information for a 50 gram serving, but I am not sure how to approximate the serving size in cups. A food scale would be ideal, but unfortunately I don't have one at the moment. I could dump out the whole box and use a measuring cup, but that sounds rather extreme to me :wink:

Is anyone familiar with this conversion? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say, ones weight the other is volume, with density the unknown. I'm thinking 2 ounces of granola isn't going to take up much volume, maybe 1/3 of a cup.

    Thanks! I know it's impossible to be exact without knowing the density, but it's good to hear someone else's thoughts on what a good estimate might be.

    but obviously, a scale is required next time you get the chance.
