How Much Is 1 Cup of Yogurt in Grams?
1 cup of yogurt equals 245.00 g. Yogurt has a density of 245g per cup (245g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 cup of all-purpose flour would be 125.16 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 cup of yogurt
- 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
- 1 × 245 = 245g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
