How Much Is 4 Teaspoons of Egg Whites in Ounces?
4 teaspoons of egg whites weighs 0.71 oz. This is based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 teaspoons of egg whites
- 1 teaspoon of egg whites = 5.06g
- 4 × 5.06 = 20.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 20.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.71 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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
