How Much Is 1 Gram of Egg Whites in Teaspoons?
Converting 1 gram of egg whites to teaspoons gives 0.20 tsp. Divide by the density of egg whites (243g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 gram of egg whites
- 1 cup of egg whites = 243g
- 1g ÷ 243g/cup = 0.0041 cups × 48 = 0.20 teaspoons
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?
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 Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
