Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 5.06g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 4 teaspoons of egg whites
  2. 1 teaspoon of egg whites = 5.06g
  3. 4 × 5.06 = 20.25g
  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.71 oz, based on egg whites having a density of 243g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 5.06 (grams per teaspoon for egg whites), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 4 teaspoons: 4 × 5.06 = 20.25g, then 20.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.71 oz.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg whites on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring spoon and read the level at eye height.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
