Yogurt, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of yogurt = 245 grams · 100g = 0.41 cups
Yogurt is thick enough that you scoop and level it like a soft solid rather than pour it, and a cup weighs about 245 grams. Greek yogurt, being strained, is denser still, while thin drinking yogurts weigh a little less. It adds moisture and gentle tang to cakes and marinades.

Yogurt: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of yogurt weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of yogurt in each:

| Metric cup | 250 ml | 259 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 294 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 207 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

How to measure yogurt accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of yogurt weighs about 245 grams (8.64 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts yogurt and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Spoon yogurt into the cup and level the top; don't pack it down, or you'll add more than the recipe intends.
