Where 245 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup (8 fl oz) of “Yogurt, plain, whole milk” = 245 g. FDC 171284

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Yogurt”): 227 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 245 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 18 g (7.35%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Plain whole-milk yogurt weighs 245 g a cup in USDA's data. Greek yogurt is strained and thicker, so a cup weighs a little more, about 250 to 285 g depending on the brand.

How to measure yogurt by the cup

Press it firmly into a dry measuring cup with the back of a spoon, then level the top. It should hold the cup's shape when turned out.

In the UK and Australia: natural yoghurt. Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of yogurt weighs about 259 g.
