Measuring yogurt by cup and by weight
A cup of plain yogurt weighs about 245 g. Greek yogurt is thicker and strained, and a cup of it is a touch heavier, around 245–255 g depending on the brand, so treat the figure as a good starting point. Because yogurt is thick, it traps air when spooned in loosely, so press it into the cup or, better, weigh it. Full-fat yogurt gives richer cakes and marinades.
