How much is 200 grams?
Gram is a unit of mass (colloquially weight) in the SI system, used throughout the wolrd to measure ingredients by weight. To have a picture of how much is 200 grams, here are a couple of conversions:
- 200 grams = 0.2 kg or kilograms.
- 200 grams = 7.05 oz or ounces.
- 200 grams = 0.44 lbs or pounds
- 200 grams = approximately 1 5/8 cups of flour.
- 200 grams = approximately 1 cups of sugar.
As gram is a unit of weight, the best and more precise way to measure out 200 grams is by using a kitchen scale, see instructions below. This also provides accuracy that's often needed when using 200 grams of any ingredient.

Measuring 200 grams on a kithcen scale
The best and easiest way to measure 200 grams at home for any ingredient is by using a kitchen scale.
It is also the most accurate as measuring by weight is often more precise than measuring by volume. So if you need to measure out ingredients by grams, I strongly suggest you to buy a kitchen scale or any appropriate scale.
- To measure exactly 200 grams on a kitchen scale, first turn on the scale and ensure it is set to the appropriate unit of measurement (grams in this case).
- Then, place a container on the scale and "zero" the scale so that it reads 0 grams with the container on it.
- Next, slowly add the ingredient to the container until the scale reads 200 grams.
- Adjust the amount. If the scale reads less than 200 grams, add the ingredient one teaspoon at a time. If it reads more than 200 grams, use a teaspoon to take out the ingredient bit by bit. Note: 1 gram is a tiny amount, so for most home uses of 200 grams it's totally okay to measure 1-2 grams more or less.
That's it, you've just measured 200 grams on a scale!
