How Much Is 47.44 Grams of Egg Yolks in Tablespoons?
Converting 47.44 grams of egg yolks to tablespoons gives 3.00 tbsp. Divide by the density of egg yolks (253g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 47.44 grams of egg yolks
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 47.44g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.19 cups × 16 = 3.00 tablespoons
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 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?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
