Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 teaspoons of egg whites

- 2 × 5.06 = 10.13g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Quick check: 2 teaspoons is just double the single-teaspoon weight. 1 teaspoon = 5.06g, so 2 = 10.13g.
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.
