Yogurt Grams to Cups

Yogurt grams to cups at a glance

One cup of plain yogurt weighs 245 grams. Like most dairy, yogurt is close to water in density, so a cup weighs just a little more than a cup of milk.

Regular stirred yogurt settles at about 245g per cup. Thicker styles weigh slightly more because they hold less air — see the Greek yogurt page for strained yogurt. When a recipe gives yogurt in grams, scoop it onto a scale rather than packing a measuring cup, which traps air pockets and throws off the amount.

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 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 250g of yogurt?

250 grams of yogurt is just over 1 cup (about 1.02 cups).

How many grams is 1/2 cup of yogurt?

Half a cup of yogurt is about 123 grams.

Does Greek yogurt weigh more than regular yogurt?

Only slightly — both round to about 245g per cup. The real difference is protein and thickness, not weight.

Can I weigh yogurt instead of measuring by cups?

Yes, and it is tidier: 245g equals 1 cup. Spoon it onto the scale to avoid the air gaps that make cup measures inconsistent.
