Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.6 tablespoons of egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of egg whites = 15.19g
- 5.6 × 15.19 = 85.05g
- Convert grams to ounces: 85.05 ÷ 28.3495 = 3.00 oz
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.
