How Much Is 10 Tablespoons of Egg Whites in Grams?
10 tablespoons of egg whites weighs 151.88 g. This is based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 10 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 tablespoons of egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of egg whites = 15.19g
- 10 × 15.19 = 151.88g
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.
Egg Whites at Different Amounts
How egg whites scales across common tablespoons measurements. Your amount (10 tablespoons) is highlighted.
For reference, 10 tablespoons of egg whites (151.88g) is close in weight to a baseball (145g).

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
