1 cup of shredded cheese weighs 113 grams. Shredded cheese is loosely packed, making cup measurements unreliable — the same cup can hold anywhere from 100–130g depending on how it's filled. Always weigh for baking.
For the most accurate results, weigh your cheese with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.
