How Much Is 5.14 Tablespoons of Egg Whites in Grams?
5.14 tablespoons of egg whites weighs 78.06 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 5.14 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.14 tablespoons of egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of egg whites = 15.19g
- 5.14 × 15.19 = 78.06g
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 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?
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.
