How Many Grams in a Cup of Cottage cheese?
1 cup of cottage cheese = 225 grams · 100g = 0.44 cups
Cottage cheese is a fresh curd cheese sold by weight, and a cup of it weighs about 225 grams — which is why so many people search for exactly that figure. The curd size and how much you drain it shift the weight a little. It is high in protein and increasingly used in baking and smoothies for that reason.

Cottage cheese: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of cottage cheese weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of cottage cheese in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup cottage cheese | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 225 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 238 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 270 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 190 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Cottage cheese by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of cottage cheese weighs about 14.1g, and one teaspoon about 4.69g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon cottage cheese to grams = 14.1g
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese = 28.1g
- 3 tablespoons cottage cheese = 42.2g
- 1 teaspoon cottage cheese = 4.69g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of cottage cheese is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 1.01 cups of cottage cheese — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of cottage cheese weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of cottage cheese?
Because one cup of cottage cheese weighs about 225 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 225. So 100g of cottage cheese is about 0.44 cups, 200g is about 0.89 cups, 250g is about 1.11 cups, and 300g is about 1.33 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure cottage cheese accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh cottage cheese on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of cottage cheese weighs about 225 grams (7.94 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts cottage cheese and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Scoop cottage cheese and level it without packing. Blending it smooth before measuring gives a more consistent weight for baking.
