How Many Grams in a Cup of Yogurt?
1 cup of yogurt = 245 grams · 100g = 0.41 cups

Based on a measured density of 245 g per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned in and levelled, not poured. Last reviewed .

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:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup yogurt | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 245 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| 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.

Quick reference: Yogurt in grams
- ⅛ cup yogurt = 30.6g
- ¼ cup yogurt = 61.2g — a quarter cup of yogurt in grams
- ⅓ cup yogurt = 81.6g — a third of a cup
- ½ cup yogurt = 122g — half a cup of yogurt in grams
- ⅔ cup yogurt = 163g — two thirds of a cup
- ¾ cup yogurt = 184g — three quarters of a cup
- 1 cup yogurt = 245g — one cup of yogurt in grams
- 2 cups yogurt = 490g — two cups
Yogurt by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of yogurt weighs about 15.3g, and one teaspoon about 5.1g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon yogurt to grams = 15.3g
- 2 tablespoons yogurt = 30.6g
- 3 tablespoons yogurt = 45.9g
- 1 teaspoon yogurt = 5.1g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of yogurt is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.93 cups of yogurt — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of yogurt weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of yogurt?
Because one cup of yogurt weighs about 245 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 245. So 100g of yogurt is about 0.41 cups, 200g is about 0.82 cups, 250g is about 1.02 cups, and 300g is about 1.22 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
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.
