Okay, so the other day I was trying to follow this new baking recipe, and it was all in grams. Specifically, it called for 140 grams of flour. Now, I’m used to cups and pounds, you know, the usual American stuff. So, I was like, “140 grams… how much is that in pounds?” I had no clue!
First, I grabbed my phone and opened up the Google machine. I simply typed in “140 grams to pounds”. I love how easy this is. It does an instant conversion!
My Conversion Steps
- Step 1: Find a reliable converter. Google is perfect.
- Step 2: Type my query: “140 grams to pounds”.
- Step 3: Read the result. Done.
And bam! Right there on the screen, it showed me that 140 grams is about 0.3086 pounds. I figured, “Okay, that’s roughly a third of a pound.” I mean, I’m not going for super-precise measurements here, just close enough for baking, right?

So, I used my kitchen scale (which thankfully has both grams and pounds) to double-check. I scooped out the flour until the scale showed around 0.3 pounds. It wasn’t exact, but close enough for my baking. The recipe turned out great, by the way! It was a simple banana bread, and the slight variation in flour didn’t make any big difference.
It is super easy to do it. I can always get an instant answer!
