240 grams of eggs (beaten) = 0.99 cups (1 cup / 15.8 tbsp / 47.4 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.

How 240g Converts, Step by Step
240g divided by 243g (the weight of one cup of eggs (beaten)) equals 0.99 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 15.8 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 47.4 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 240g of eggs (beaten) fills less volume (234ml) than the same weight of water would (241ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 240 grams to cups page.
If You're Using a Metric or Imperial Cup
The 0.99 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 240g, that's ⅞ metric cups or ⅞ 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.
Scaling This 240g Amount
Doubling a recipe that calls for 240g of eggs (beaten) means weighing 480g, or measuring 1.98 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 120g, or 0.49 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.
Eggs (Beaten) Next to Other Proteins & Eggs
Within proteins & eggs, density still varies by ingredient. At 240g, chicken breast (170g per cup) measures 1⅜ cup, compared to 1 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.
Measuring This Precisely
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.
For every gram amount at once, the eggs (beaten) conversion chart lists eggs (beaten) across the full range from 1g to 1000g in one table.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 240 grams of eggs (beaten) in cups exactly?+
240 grams of eggs (beaten) equals 0.99 cups, based on a density of 243g per cup.
Why doesn't 240g of eggs (beaten) match a simple fraction?+
240g isn't a multiple of eggs (beaten)'s per-cup weight, so the cup value lands between common fractions. The closest practical measure is 1 cup.
What's the most reliable way to measure 240g of eggs (beaten)?+
A kitchen scale set to grams gives an exact 240g reading. Cups only approximate this amount, since 1 cup rounds to the nearest practical fraction.
Is 240g likely a typo for a rounder amount?+
Possibly, if a recipe seems to expect a cleaner number. Check the nearby amounts table below for the closest common gram values for eggs (beaten).
