1 level US cup of shredded cheese weighs about 113 g (4 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 119 g.
1 level tablespoon of shredded cheese is about 7.1 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 2.4 g.
100 g of shredded cheese is about 0.88 cups, or 14.2 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Shredded Cheese is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (113 g vs 237 g).
