Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 15.31g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 3.2 tablespoons of yogurt
  2. 1 tablespoon of yogurt = 15.31g
  3. 3.2 × 15.31 = 49g

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 spoon.

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 49.00 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 3.2 tablespoons: 3.2 × 15.31 = 49.00 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: 49.00 g ÷ 15.31 = 3.2 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
