How Much Is 0.17 Ounces of Egg Whites in Tablespoons?
0.17 ounces of egg whites equals 0.32 tbsp. Egg whites has a density of 243g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.17 ounces of egg whites
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.17 × 28.35 = 4.82g
- 1 cup of egg whites = 243g
- 4.82g ÷ 243g/cup = 0.02 cups × 16 = 0.32 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.
