Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 253g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 189.75 grams of egg yolks
  2. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  3. 189.75g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

A whole large egg without shell weighs about 50g. When separating eggs for a recipe, weigh the whites and yolks individually for the most accurate results.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 12.00 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 189.75 grams: 189.75 ÷ 253 = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 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.
Reverse the conversion: 12.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.75 cups, then 0.75 × 253g/cup = 189.75g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
