So one cup is about 1/2 pound (0.5 - 0.6 pounds).

The best thing to do is to measure it on a scale, at least once, (subtracting out the weight of the cup, of course) and then report on the thread your results so others can know as well.

That would be very convenient if one cup is about 1/2 lbs. 1/2 lbs is 8 oz by weight and 1 cup is 8 oz by volume.
