How Much Is 1.5 Pounds of Yogurt in Cups?
1.5 pounds of yogurt equals 2.78 cups. That's 680.39g, and Yogurt has a density of 245g per cup. Because pounds measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 pounds of yogurt
- Convert pounds to grams: 1.5 × 453.59 = 680.39g
- 1 cup of yogurt = 245g
- 680.39g ÷ 245g/cup = 2.78 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

For the most consistent results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale rather than measuring by volume.
