It depends on the size on the cup you are talking about and the weight of things in the cup but a cup is not a true measurement like ounces to pounds. You can weigh how many pounds with a balance.

You can't convert between a cup and weight; a cup is a unit of volume.

The size of a cup depends on the country; traditionally, in the UK, a cup is a half an imperial pint. In the US it is half a US pint, but there is also an offical cupsize of 240ml, in many countries it is 250ml.

If you're measuring water, 250ml weighs 250 grams.

Cups are a measure of volume, pounds are a measure of mass. The density of the substance is required for conversion.
