How Much Is 0.5 Tablespoons of Yogurt in Grams?
0.5 tablespoons of yogurt equals 7.66 g. Yogurt has a density of 245g per cup (15.31g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.5 tablespoons of honey would be 10.63 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.5 tablespoons of yogurt
- 1 tablespoon of yogurt = 15.31g
- 0.5 × 15.31 = 7.66g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Half measures: take the weight of 1 tablespoon (15.31g) and divide by 2.
Measuring Tip
Yogurt weighs 245g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring spoon without pressing down too firmly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
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.
