Why weigh grated cheese instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much grated cheese you add by weight. One US cup of grated cheese is taken as 113 g here, cited from King Arthur Baking for the exact chart form “grated Cheddar, Jack, mozzarella, or Swiss cheese”, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on product form and how the grated cheese is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
