Greek Yogurt: Grams to Cups
1 cup of greek yogurt = 227 grams
One US cup of greek yogurt weighs 227 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 240 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
Greek yogurt is strained, so it is thicker and traps small air pockets in the cup. 227 g per cup is this site's working figure rather than a published reference — a 32 oz (907 g) tub holds about 4 cups. Weigh it if it matters.
Why there is no single published figure
Neither of the references this site checks gives a cup weight for Greek yogurt: the USDA entries it uses list regular yogurt by the cup, and King Arthur Baking's chart lists only regular yogurt. So the 227 g used here is a working figure, and the page says so. It is below the 245 g USDA gives for regular yogurt because strained yogurt is too stiff to settle — spooned into a cup it leaves gaps that runny yogurt would fill.
How much it varies depends on the brand. A 2% or whole-milk Greek yogurt that has been stirred smooth fills the cup closely; a thick nonfat one scooped in chunks can come in well under 227 g. That is why, for baking, weighing is the only reliable method.
Tubs, single cups and common amounts
A 32 oz (907 g) tub is about 4 cups at 227 g per cup. Single-serve cups are commonly 5.3 oz (150 g), about ⅔ cup. Recipes that call for "one container" usually mean one of these.
At 227 g per cup: 100 g is about 0.44 cups (a scant ½ cup), 150 g is about 0.66 cups (⅔ cup), 170 g (6 oz) is about ¾ cup, 200 g is about 0.88 cups and 250 g is about 1.1 cups.
Swapping Greek for regular yogurt or sour cream
Swap by weight, not by cup. 100 g of Greek yogurt holds less water than 100 g of regular yogurt, so a batter made with it will be a little thicker; loosen it with a spoonful of milk if the recipe was written for regular yogurt. Greek yogurt replaces sour cream one for one by weight in most dips and baked goods.
Where the 227 g figure comes from
Neither USDA FoodData Central nor King Arthur Baking publishes a cup weight for greek yogurt, so 227 g is this site's working estimate. Weigh it when the result matters.

How to measure greek yogurt accurately
The 227 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the greek yogurt into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of greek yogurt = 227 g
- 1 metric cup (250 ml) of greek yogurt = 240 g
- ¾ cup = 170 g
- ½ cup = 114 g
- ⅓ cup = 76 g
- ¼ cup = 57 g
- 1 tablespoon = 14.2 g
