Martha Stewart, in her macaroni and cheese recipe, includes this ingredient:
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (1 cup)
So 1 Cup of grated Parmigiano Reggiano is equal to 2 ounces.
Yes, they are the same. Both the block of cheese and the grated cheese weigh 8 ounces. If you grate an 8 ounce block of cheese you will end up with 8 ounces of grated cheese.
A four ounce block.
4.54 cups of grated cheese will be equal to one pound
That is about 1.452 cups

3 cups
Assuming you mean after grating the parmesan, there is no way to tell. It would depend on the fineness of the grater you used and how packed the cheese is in the cup measure.
That is approximately 3 ounces. 28.35 gm per ounce.
16 oz = 1lb therefore 72oz = 4.5lb
It takes about 5 quarts (1.25 gallons) of milk to make a pound of whole milk cheese.
AnswerGenerally speaking, 4 oz of block cheese is comparable to 1 cup of grated cheese.
When your cheese isn't pre-grated, slicing off the appropriate sized hunk based on the package's total weight is the best advice. But there is no difference between the two formulations stated above--except perhaps in that you will waste a small amount of cheese during grating. 6oz of a cheese weighed before grating will weigh 6 oz after grating (less a few grams for whatever is left on the grater and cutting board--so grate a little extra). There's no exact conversion for oz of grated cheese to volume as the volume of the grated cheese will vary both by the size of grating and the weight will vary by the cheese's density. That said: 1 cup coarsely grated cheddar = 4 oz (approx) 1 cup finely grated parmesan = 3.5 oz (approx) And I do agree, sometimes a mistake improves the outcome.
