Greek Yogurt Grams to Cups

Greek Yogurt grams to cups at a glance

One cup of Greek yogurt weighs about 245 grams. Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, making it thicker and higher in protein than regular yogurt — though the weight per cup is nearly the same.

Because Greek yogurt is dense and spoonable, packing it into a measuring cup is easy to get wrong — air pockets make a "cup" weigh anywhere from 220g to 260g. Weighing is the reliable route at 245g per cup. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat Greek yogurt all weigh within a few grams of each other.

Dairy compared by cup weight

Swapping one type for another changes the weight of a cup, so a recipe written in cups is not portable between them:

Why a cup of greek yogurt varies

Thick dairy holds air when it is spooned into a cup, so the same "1 cup" can range from about 208g to 245g depending on how firmly it is packed. Press it level with the back of a spoon, or weigh it straight into the bowl.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 200g of Greek yogurt?

200 grams of Greek yogurt is about 0.82 cups — roughly ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon.

How many grams is 1 cup of Greek yogurt?

About 245 grams — the same as regular yogurt by weight, despite being much thicker.

Is Greek yogurt heavier than regular yogurt?

Per cup they are nearly identical (~245g). Straining removes watery whey and concentrates protein, but it does not change the weight of a packed cup by much.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt for regular yogurt by weight?

Yes — swap gram for gram. Greek yogurt is thicker, so in batters and dressings you may want to thin it with a splash of milk.
