Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 243g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 17.14 ounces of egg whites
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 17.14 × 28.35 = 485.91g
  3. 1 cup of egg whites = 243g
  4. 485.91g ÷ 243g/cup = 2.00 cups

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 an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Cup?

There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.00 cups, based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 243 (grams per cup). For 17.14 ounces: 17.14 × 28.3495 = 485.91g, then 485.91 ÷ 243 = 2.00 cups.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg whites on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring cup 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: 2.00 cups × 243g/cup = 485.91g, then 485.91g ÷ 28.3495 = 17.14 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
