1 pound= 2 cups

(improvement upon above answer)

This depends on what you're measuring. two cups of confectioner's sugar is not going to weigh a whole pound.

unfortunately, you are converting volume to weight and the ratio would vary according to the density of the material being converted.

ex. 1 lb flour = 4 cups

but 1 lb of baking powder = 2 1/2 cups

ANSWER

It depends of the density of your foodstuff. For example

1 US cup of water = 0.52 lb

1 US cup of buckwheat = 0.44 lb

1 US cup of honey = 0.68 lb and so on.
