Yogurt: cups to grams
Plain yogurt weighs about 245 g per cup; Greek yogurt, being strained, is a little denser at around 250 g. Sour cream comes in at 230 g. All three are close enough to water that a millilitre-to-gram conversion is within 5 %.
1 cup yogurt = 245 g · 1 tbsp = 15.3 g · 100 g = 0.41 cups
Based on 245 g per US cup of yogurt, spooned and levelled. Real-world cups vary by about ±10 % for powders.
How to measure yogurt
Spoon into a dry measuring cup and level, or weigh. 1 tablespoon = 15 g.
Weight is the only measure that does not depend on the container or on how the ingredient was filled. The figure of 245 g per US cup comes from USDA FoodData Central; other charts differ by a few percent, which is within the spread between two cooks filling the same cup.
