Tobias10

Does this mean a mug or what I am in the UK and finding measurements in food database hard to work out. Also does it matter that for the last few days that I have been anywhere between 30-100 sometinemes a bit more under my 1200 calories a day

It depends on what is in the cup. They don't measure the same thing. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.

Exactly what Tackie said. This is sort of like asking how many pounds are in a bucket. It depends on what's in the bucket.
