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 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.

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 9.92 tbsp, 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.
Divide the grams by 253 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 156.86 grams: 156.86 ÷ 253 = 0.62 cups × 16 = 9.92 tbsp.
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 spoon 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.
