Where this number comes from
USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup, shredded of “Cheese, cheddar (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)” at 113 g, and 1 cup, diced at 132 g (FDC ID 173414, SR Legacy).
Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
