4 tablespoons of greek yogurt weighs 2.16 oz. This is based on greek yogurt having a density of 245g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 tablespoons of greek yogurt
