How many grams are in a cup of yogurt?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of yogurt weighs about 245 grams, spooned, plain. Published charts differ slightly, from 245 to 245 grams, because of how the ingredient is scooped and how finely it is ground or packed. The figure here is the average of two independent sources.

Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of yogurt weighs about 259 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring yogurt accurately
Stir yogurt well before measuring, as separation causes uneven density throughout the container. Spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level it gently without packing it down tightly. Greek yogurt is much thicker than regular yogurt, making weight measurements in grams the only truly reliable approach.
