In short
One us cup of yogurt is 245 gram. Going the other way, one gram is 0.0040816327 us cup. That works out at 2 us cup = 490 gram and 4 = 980. The figure comes from yogurt weighing 245 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Cups to Grams — Yogurt
Plain yogurt is slightly denser than milk because of the fermentation and any added milk solids. Greek yogurt is denser again — strained of whey, it runs closer to 280 g per cup, so substituting it by volume in a batter adds both weight and thickness. Sour cream and crème fraîche sit within a few grams of plain yogurt. The figure this page works from is 245 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting us cup to gram for yogurt, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/4 us cup = 61.3 gram; 1/3 us cup = 81.7 gram; 1/2 us cup = 123 gram; 2/3 us cup = 163 gram; 3/4 us cup = 184 gram; 1 us cup = 245 gram; 1 1/2 us cup = 368 gram; 2 us cup = 49 gram; 3 us cup = 735 gram.
What people use it for
- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses gram = us cup × 245, derived from yogurt weighing 245 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Plain yogurt is slightly denser than milk because of the fermentation and any added milk solids. Greek yogurt is denser again — strained of whey, it runs closer to 280 g per cup, so substituting it by volume in a batter adds both weight and thickness.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of regular in baking?
Yes, but thin it. Greek yogurt is strained, so it is both denser and drier — swap by weight and add a tablespoon or two of milk per cup to bring the moisture back, or the crumb comes out tight.
Why does a cup of yogurt not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Yogurt has its own density — 245 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Somewhat, because yogurt holds air pockets. Spooned in gently it traps gaps and under-measures; pressed down and levelled it gives the 245 g used here. Stirring it smooth first makes the cup far more repeatable — and set yogurt straight from the pot behaves quite differently from stirred.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
Are there any usage caps on the Cups to Grams — Yogurt?
No charge and no sign-up. There is no free tier to run out of because there is no paid tier — inputtesthub.com is funded by advertising rather than by metering the tool.
Is the Cups to Grams — Yogurt safe to use with private information?
No. The Cups to Grams — Yogurt runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Because the work happens locally, the tool also keeps working if your connection drops, and closing the tab is all it takes to discard everything.
Can I check the maths myself?
It uses gram = us cup × 245, derived from yogurt weighing 245 g per US cup. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
Can you show an example?
Enter 2 us cup of yogurt and the Cups to Grams — Yogurt returns 490 gram.
When would I actually need the Cups to Grams — Yogurt?
In practice it gets used for three things: following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures. Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error. Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
What are the limits of the Cups to Grams — Yogurt?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
What are the reference figures here?
1 US cup of yogurt is 245 g. 1 US cup is 245 Gram. 1 Gram is 0.0040816327 US cup. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
How precise is the result?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
