2.69 cups of egg whites weighs 1.44 lb. This is based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. Because cups measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2.69 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.69 cups of egg whites
- 1 cup of egg whites = 243g
- 2.69 × 243 = 653.67g
