How Much Is 48 Teaspoons of Egg Whites in Ounces?
48 teaspoons of egg whites weighs 8.57 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 48 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 48 teaspoons of egg whites
- 1 teaspoon of egg whites = 5.06g
- 48 × 5.06 = 243g
- Convert grams to ounces: 243 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.57 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
