15 grams of eggs (beaten) = 0.06 cups (⅛ cup / 1.0 tbsp / 3.0 tsp)
Eggs (Beaten) has a density of approximately 243g per cup. Raw, beaten whole eggs — about 4.86 large eggs. Cooked egg volume differs. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9g | 0.04 | ⅛ | 0.6 | 1.8 |
| 10g | 0.04 | ⅛ | 0.7 | 2.0 |
| 15g | 0.06 | ⅛ | 1.0 | 3.0 |

| 25g | 0.10 | ⅛ | 1.6 | 4.9 |
The Math for 15g of Eggs (Beaten)
15g divided by 243g (the weight of one cup of eggs (beaten)) equals 0.06 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 1.0 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 3.0 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Eggs (Beaten) is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 15g of eggs (beaten) fills less volume (15ml) than the same weight of water would (15ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 15 grams to cups page.
Metric and Imperial Cup Sizes
The 0.06 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 15g, that's ⅛ metric cups or ⅛ imperial cups of eggs (beaten), close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Making More or Less Than 15g
Doubling a recipe that calls for 15g of eggs (beaten) means weighing 30g, or measuring 0.12 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 7.5g, or 0.03 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
How Eggs (Beaten) Compares to Similar Ingredients
Within proteins & eggs, density still varies by ingredient. At 15g, chicken breast (170g per cup) measures ⅛ cup, compared to ⅛ cup for eggs (beaten). Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Eggs (Beaten) in Recipes
- Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
- Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.
Getting an Accurate Spoon Measurement
Proteins & Eggs
Proteins are almost always measured by weight, not volume, since cup measurements are inconsistent for cuts of meat or fish.
For exact results
When a recipe needs a specific weight of a protein, trim visible fat and bone before weighing if the recipe's stated weight assumes trimmed, boneless meat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 15 grams of eggs (beaten) in cups?+
15 grams of eggs (beaten) is 0.06 cups, or 1.0 tablespoons.
Should I use a spoon or a cup for 15g of eggs (beaten)?+
At 15g, a tablespoon or teaspoon measurement is usually more practical than a fractional cup. Use 1.0 tablespoons or 3.0 teaspoons.
Is 15 grams of eggs (beaten) the same as 15 milliliters?+
Only if it weighed the same as water. 15g of water is about 15ml, while 15g of eggs (beaten) is 15ml, because the two have different densities.
Does the answer change for a metric or imperial cup?+
Slightly. 15g of eggs (beaten) is ⅛ metric cups or ⅛ imperial cups, close to the US figure but not identical, since each standard defines the cup at a different volume.
