1755 calories are in a pound of sugar according to CalorieKing's site. Someone else said that there are 8 oz of sugar in a cup, but that is not true. Ounces in that instance refers to volume, not weight. There are actually 7.1 oz of sugar in a cup, also according to CalorieKing
A pound is weight and a cup is volume. Two different measures. It would be apprx. 2 cups
You're trying to compare weight and volume. It doesn't really work properly. A pound is 16 ounces, and a cup is 8 fluid ounces, so you would expect a pound to be 2 cups. The problem is that the density of the sugar is a variable. If you pack the sugar into the measuring cup, it will weigh more, thereby coming out to more than a pound in weight.
A pound is a weight measure, not a volume measure. So you would just pour the powdered sugar into a container on a scale to come up to one pound (allowing for the container), or just buy/obtain a one-pound box.
There is approximately 2 cups of lactose sugar in one pound of sugar. However, there is 3 3/4 cups of confectioners sugar in one pound.
Of course, one pound is one pound you stupid
1 pound of granulated sugar is 2 cups. 2.2 pounds of sugar would equal 4.2 cups. However, this measurement will change based on what you are measuring. Pound measures mass and cups measure volume.
One pound, as sugar is pure carbohydrate.

how many cups are in a pound of brown sugar
One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
