The first thing you must do it's convert grams to ounces. If you put grams to ounces in a Google search a Google converter will automatically pop up. Enter the amount of grams you're trying to convert in this case 150 and you will receive an answer of 5.29109 ounces or approximately 5 1/3 ounces since a cup contains 8 ounces this is approximately 5/8 of a cup
This is not a direct conversion, but rather an empirical measure resulting from tests.
Grams is a weight measure and cups is a volume measure - clearly there can be no direct conversion.
300 grams of steel is far far less than 2 cups and conversely, 2 cups of steel is much more than 300 grams.
Sounds like you answered your own question. I one cap will hold 17 grams then just use one cap full. If you take a little extra it should not be a problem. I prepped for a colonoscopy using Miralax and the doctor had me take a whole bottle of Miralax in Gatoraid in two doses one hour apart and it did not cause any problems (except I spent a lot of time in the bathroom!). As a guess I would say two or three tablespoons would be about 17 grams.
You are talking about PEG-3350 powder, brand name Miralax but available in generic brands now, too. You've been told to use it for a clean-out prep for surgery or colonoscopy, right? The label says 238 Gms is en entire 8.3 oz bottle. But if you are struggling to read the label, which specifies that a cap filled to the line marked inside is equal to the recommended daily dose for constipation (17 Gms), then you should have been given a prep kit prescribed by a doctor, or told to have the pharmacist help you. The kit has a container with the powder, flavor packets, and the same electrolytes in the Gatorade, formulated to protect you from becoming too dehydrated or depleted of minerals by the process. An overdose of this could be serious--even very dangerous if taken by a child or elderly/fragile person--and yet an under-dose will leave you not fully washed out, so your exam may be useless or be cancelled.
If you have to ask this you need the pharmacist's help. Go to the counter and show him or her your written instructions from your provider. Most of these bottles come in a 8.3 oz size, which is 238 Gms. They also have a lid with dose markings inside, for a 17 or 34-Gram dose. If you've been told to take 328 grams at once, then you should have been prescribed a prep kit which has, yes, the same clean-out powder, but pre-measured, with a mixing container, safety instructions, flavor packets, minerals to protect you from dehydration, etc. Anyone who prescribed this instead of the standard kit was showing off their knowledge that the powder is the same, rather than thinking of your safety. The prep kit is safer for most people, and may not be more expensive, either, especially if you buy the brand name MiraLax!
Sorry but you are comparing apples and oranges. A gram is a unit of weight. A cup is a unit of volume. A cup of lead pellets is heavier than a cup of water. So you have to stipulate what material you are weighing. ????
