Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 253g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 45.56 grams of egg yolks
  2. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  3. 45.56g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.18 cups × 16 = 2.88 tablespoons

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?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.88 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 45.56 grams: 45.56 ÷ 253 = 0.18 cups × 16 = 2.88 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: 2.88 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.180079 cups, then 0.180079 × 253g/cup = 45.56g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
