How Much Is 1 Cup of Greek Yogurt in Ounces?
1 cup of greek yogurt weighs 8.64 oz. This is based on greek yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1 cup.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 cup of greek yogurt
- 1 cup of greek yogurt = 245g
- 1 × 245 = 245g
- Convert grams to ounces: 245 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.64 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Thickness varies between brands. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat versions can have slightly different weights per measuring cup.

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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
