A “cup” here is the imperial volume measure, like a measuring cup. It’s also 8 fluid ounces, or about 250 ml (really, 237 ml, but usually rounded up)

If there are other units that you aren’t sure about, you can use an imperial-to-metric conversion chart, or just have google do it for you. In google’s search bar, type something like “1 cup in ml” or “4 oz in g” and google will tell you how much it is.

Sorry, but that is, unfortunately, not true. As Wikipedia shows, there are a lot of different “cup” units all over the world:

  • 1 imperial cup = 284.130625 millilitres
  • 1 metric cup = 250 millilitres
  • 1 U.S. customary cup = 236.5882365 millilitres
  • 1 U.S. “legal” cup = 240 millilitres
  • 1 Japanese cup = 200 millilitres

So all you can do is to hope that the one used on DailyBurn is the one you assume. (Even though the website is made in the US, there would still be two “cups” to choose from – let alone that a Japanese or Canadian user could mix that up even more. ^^)

splitting hairs over 237 ml vs 240 isnt a big deal. the more important part is the quality of the milk, the US Dietary Guidelines are a lot more specific:

1 cup equivalent is:
• 1 cup lowfat/fatfree milk, yogurt
• 1 1/2 oz of lowfat or fatfree natural cheese
• 2 oz of lowfat or fatfree processed cheese

Agreed and if it’s from the USDA which is a branch of the US government it’s the imperial cup which is 237 ml.
