1/3 Cup of Milk in Grams
1/3 cup of milk (whole) weighs 82 grams (about 2.9 oz), based on 245 g per US cup (1 US cup = 240 ml). That's the same as 5.3 tablespoons of milk (whole). When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
1/3 cup is the awkward fraction: it does not divide into whole tablespoons, and halving it lands on 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons. Two scoops make 2/3 cup (163 g), three make a full cup (245 g).

No 1/3 cup measure? Use spoons
1/3 cup is exactly 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon, which is 82 g of milk (whole). Measuring spoons are stamped to a tighter tolerance than cups, so for small amounts the spoon route is usually the more accurate one even when you do own the cup.
Halving and doubling 1/3 cup
Scaling a recipe is the usual reason this conversion comes up, and grams scale cleanly where cup fractions do not:
| Recipe | Cups | Grams | Spoons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ⅛ cup | 41 g | 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons |
| As written | ⅓ cup | 82 g | 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon |
| Double | ⅔ cup | 163 g | 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons |
