How Much Is 50 Grams of Yogurt in Cups?
50 grams of yogurt equals 0.20 cups. Yogurt has a density of 245g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 50 grams of yogurt
- 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
- 50g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.20 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Yogurt weighs 245g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring cup without pressing down too firmly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
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.
