Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 253g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.34 cups of egg yolks
  2. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  3. 0.34 × 253 = 86.02g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 86.02 g, based on egg yolks having a density of 253g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 253 (grams per cup for egg yolks). For 0.34 cups: 0.34 × 253 = 86.02 g.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring cup and read the level at eye height.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
