How Much Is 5.6 Cups of Egg Whites in Ounces?
5.6 cups of egg whites weighs 48.00 oz. This is based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 5.6 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.6 cups of egg whites
- 1 cup of egg whites = 243g
- 5.6 × 243 = 1,360.8g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,360.8 ÷ 28.3495 = 48.00 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
