Frequently Asked Questions

About 15.31 g, based on yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 15.31 (grams per tablespoon for yogurt). For 1 tablespoon: 1 × 15.31 = 15.31 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh yogurt on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 15.31 g ÷ 15.31 = 1 tablespoon. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
