How many cups in a pound for meat?

Answer 1

It depends in the food, because different foods have different densities. For example, 2 cups make a pound of water. Measuring dry foods by volume is inaccurate, an everyday example would be flour.

Answer 2

There are approximately 8 oz per cup, so 2 cups is approximately 16 oz (one pound). The reason it is only an approximation is that the weight depends on how dense of a material you are measuring.
