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

    Here are a few common foods and their conversion from cups to grams (notice how much the weight varies!):

    Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams
    Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed = 220 grams
    Sifted white flour: 1 cup = 125 grams
    White rice, uncooked: 1 cup = 185 grams
    White rice, cooked: 1 cup = 175 grams
    Butter: 1 cup = 227 grams
    Almonds, slivered: 1 cup = 108 grams
    Oil: 1 cup = 224 grams
    Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams
    Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
    Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams
    Broccoli, flowerets: 1 cup = 71 grams
    Raisins: 1 cup, packed = 165 grams
    Milk, dry: 1 cup = 68 grams
    Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams
    Water: 1 cup = 236 grams
    Confectioners sugar: 1 C = 110 g
    Cocoa: 1 C = 125 g

    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.
