HOW TO CONVERT GRAMS OF SUGAR TO CUPS OF SUGAR
1. Look at the food container to see how many servings there are inside
2. Find the number of grams of sugar in a serving
3. Multiply the number of servings by the number of grams per serving
4. Calculate the total amount of sugar in the whole container
5. Divide the total amount of sugar by the number 5
6. The result is the number of teaspoons (tsp.) of sugar you should measure into your clear baggie
