I’m including these common cooking and baking measurements in case you are not familiar with them. It’s pretty hard to figure calorie counts without them.
| 3 teaspoons = | 1 tablespoon |
| 16 tablespoons = | 1 cup |
| 4 tablespoons = | 1/4 cup |
| 2 cups = | 1 pint |
| 2 pints = | 1 quart |
| 4 quarts = | 1 gallon |
| 1 pound of flour = | 4 cups |
| 1 pound of granulated sugar = | 2 cups |
| 1 pound of butter = | 2 cups |
| 1 stick of butter = | 1/2 cup |
| 8-oz. can = | 1 cup |
| 2 tablespoons = | 1 fluid ounce |
| 16 fluid ounces = | 1 pint |
| 100 grams = | 3.215 ounces |
For complex conversions, refer to the one of many cooking conversion calculators online.
Google has a built-in cooking conversion calculator that is really easy to use. Do a search for "half a cup in teaspoons" and you’ll get this result:
Global Gourmet offers another conversion calculator that is helpful. Every food is different. For instance, one pound of brown sugar is 2-1/4 cups, packed, while one pound of confectioners’ sugar is 3-1/2 cups, packed, and as noted above, 1 pound of granulated sugar is 2 cups.
