a cup is a measure of volume. a pound is a measure of weight. you want to translate it to kilos.

which, by the way, is about 2kg to the lb. or more exactly:

1 Pounds (avoirdupois) equals 0.453592 Kilograms

Oh ya, you could say that, but then it would be mass, not weight. Or it could be volume too. As in a cup, b cup, c cup and so on.

Well, it probably dosen't have to be exact. Get a half litre of water in one hand and the zucchini in the other, then guess and chop.
