How many grams are in 1 cup of yogurt?

One US cup of plain yogurt weighs approximately 245 grams. This is the standard baking-reference figure, based on a volume of 240 ml and a yogurt density slightly above 1 g/ml.

How many grams is 1/2 cup of yogurt?

Half a cup of yogurt is approximately 122.5 grams.

How many grams is 2 cups of yogurt?

Two US cups of yogurt weigh approximately 490 grams.

Does the type of yogurt change the conversion?

The difference between whole-milk, low-fat, and non-fat plain yogurt is small enough to ignore for most recipes. This converter uses 245 g/cup, which works well across common plain varieties. Greek yogurt is thicker and denser, so its weight per cup runs a bit higher.

Is 1 cup of yogurt the same as 240 ml?

Yes. 1 US cup equals 240 ml as the culinary standard. Yogurt density is slightly above 1 g/ml, so the gram weight (245 g) comes out a little higher than the milliliter volume.

Why do some recipe sites list a different gram figure for yogurt?

Yogurt density varies slightly by brand, fat content, and straining, so some sources round to 240 g or 250 g per cup. 245 g/cup is the standard baking-reference figure used here and matches the companion grams-to-cups converter.
