Yogurt: Cups to Grams
One US cup (240 ml) of yogurt weighs 245 grams; half a cup weighs 122 grams. A quarter cup is 61.2 grams, a tablespoon is 15.3 grams and a teaspoon is 5.1 grams. A cup measures volume, not weight, so these numbers are for yogurt only: a cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams.

Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of yogurt weighs about 8.64 oz. Why these two are not the same. Decimals for thirds are rounded (1/3 cup is 0.333 cups), and each linked amount opens a page comparing every ingredient at that measure.

About measuring yogurt
Plain yogurt is thick and slightly denser than milk, so one US cup weighs about 245 grams. Because it is so thick it traps air pockets when spooned, which makes volume measures a little unreliable. Pressing it into the cup or, better, weighing it gives a truer amount. Thicker strained styles like Greek yogurt weigh a touch more per cup, but 245 grams is a solid figure for everyday plain yogurt in baking and marinades.
Yogurt traps air when spooned. Press it level in the cup, or weigh it, for an honest amount.
How many grams is a cup of yogurt?
One US cup (240 ml) of yogurt weighs about 245 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to yogurt and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.
- 1/4 cup of yogurt is about 61 grams
- 1/3 cup of yogurt is about 82 grams
- 1/2 cup of yogurt is about 122 grams
- 2/3 cup of yogurt is about 163 grams
- 3/4 cup of yogurt is about 184 grams
- 1 1/2 cups of yogurt is about 368 grams
- 2 cups of yogurt is about 490 grams
- 3 cups of yogurt is about 735 grams
Working the other way round, 100 grams of yogurt is about 0.408 cups, and 500 grams is about 2.04 cups.
Does it matter which cup my recipe means?
It does, though less than the ingredient itself. This page uses the US legal cup of 240 ml. An Australian metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of yogurt comes to about 255 grams, and the old British imperial cup of 284.1 ml holds about 290 grams.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of yogurt?
One US cup of plain yogurt is about 245 grams. Its thickness makes it slightly denser than milk.
Does Greek yogurt weigh more than regular yogurt?
A little. Because it is strained, Greek yogurt is denser and a cup can run a few grams heavier, but 245 grams is a good all-round figure.
Why weigh yogurt instead of spooning it?
Thick yogurt traps air pockets when spooned into a cup, so volume measures vary. Weighing to 245 grams per cup is far more consistent.
Where this figure comes from
We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of yogurt. The 245 grams on this page follows the calibration the rest of the site is built on, with butter at 227 grams per cup, water at 240, all-purpose flour at 125 and granulated sugar at 200. Treat it as a good working figure rather than a cited one. If you have a better source, tell us and we will check it and credit you.
Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
