Cups measure volume, so the weight depends entirely on the ingredient — 3 cups of sugar is 600 g, but the same 3 cups of flour is 360 g. Flour is the worst offender for inconsistency: scooping straight from the bag compacts it and can add up to 20% extra weight. Spoon it into the cup and level it off, or better, weigh it.
