How this is measured
1 US cup of greek yogurt weighs 245 g. Based on USDA FoodData Central (FNDDS survey foods). Plain Greek yogurt: a reference value, not exact for any brand.
Other values: Chobani plain whole milk Greek yogurt label, 223.4 g a cup: 1.1 cups (The maker's label gives 170 g per 3/4 cup of a 240 mL label cup, about 223 g per US cup); Fage Total 2% Greek yogurt label, 223.8 g a cup: 1.09 cups (The maker's label gives 227 g per 1 cup of a 240 mL label cup, about 224 g per US cup).
How many grams in 1 cup of Greek yogurt?
One US cup of plain Greek yogurt weighs 245 grams, or 8.64 ounces (USDA survey foods). That is the reference value the converter uses for Greek yogurt, so 490 grams is 2 cups and a tablespoon of Greek yogurt weighs 15.31 grams.
It is a reference value, not exact for any brand. Two labels we checked give a little less per US cup: 223.4 grams for Chobani plain whole-milk Greek yogurt and 223.8 grams for Fage Total 2%, both worked out from the serving on the label: one whole-milk, one reduced-fat (2% fat) yogurt. For one brand, its label serving is the best guide.
Greek yogurt vs regular yogurt
By the cup, our sources do not show Greek yogurt as heavier. USDA lists 245 grams for plain whole-milk yogurt and for plain low-fat yogurt, the same as its Greek yogurt, and the converter uses that for plain yogurt. King Arthur Baking's chart lists 227 grams (8 ounces) for a cup of yogurt without naming the kind, the same weight it gives for a cup of water and of milk.
Our value is the one the converter uses; the others are what other sources list for a US cup.

Measuring yogurt with a cup or a kitchen scale
By the cup, spoon yogurt into a dry measuring cup and level the top. A kitchen scale is simpler: set it to grams and spoon in 245 grams of Greek yogurt for each cup. Sour cream is close by the cup, 230 grams (USDA); the converter lists it too, and 1 cup sour cream in grams has its own page.
