How many grams is 4 cups of granulated sugar?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams.
4 cups of granulated sugar equals 800 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 845.4 grams.
How 4 cups of granulated sugar was converted to grams
One US cup of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams (two hundred), so multiply 4 by 200.
4 × 200 g
=800 grams
(eight hundred grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of granulated sugar is 0.5 cups there.
