Yes, as has been said, it will depend on how tightly you pack it, and
also, perhaps, how large the openings in your grater are.
However, FWIW, "Food For Fifty" claims a pound will grate out to
approximately 5 2/3 cups.
The commercially grated 2-cup tub my lady wife bought at the
supermarket the other day when they didn't have any of the real
stuff, allegedly weighs in at 5 ounces net.
