Convert Egg whites from cups to grams
Measuring egg whites in cups can be highly inaccurate because different ingredients have different densities. A "cup" of egg whites might not always weigh the same due to factors like compaction, moisture content, and how it's scooped. This inconsistency can lead to incorrect proportions in recipes, affecting the final result.

Who is this useful for?
If you're an international cook following US-based recipes, you'll often encounter cup measurements for egg whites. However, many countries, including those in Europe and Asia, primarily use grams for precision. Converting egg whites to grams ensures consistent and reliable results, whether you're baking or cooking.
Why accuracy matters for egg whites
Precision is especially important when using egg whites in baking and cooking. Even small variations in weight can impact the texture, consistency, and flavor of your dish. For example, too much egg whites in a recipe can make baked goods dense, while too little may cause them to be too dry or crumbly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cooking with egg whites
- Using even a small amount of yolk, which prevents egg whites from whipping properly.
- Beating egg whites in a greasy or wet bowl, leading to poor peaks.
- Overbeating egg whites until they become dry and grainy.
