How many eggs do you need for 4oz of whites?

Here's how to figure out how many eggs you need for 4 oz of egg whites:

Understanding Egg Sizes and Weights:

* Large Eggs: The most common size, averaging about 1.75 oz each.

* Egg White Weight: Egg whites typically make up about 2/3 of the total egg weight.

Calculation:

1. Egg White Weight per Egg: A large egg (1.75 oz) has roughly 1.17 oz of egg whites (1.75 oz x 2/3 = 1.17 oz).

2. Eggs Needed: Divide the desired egg white amount by the weight of egg whites per egg: 4 oz / 1.17 oz/egg = 3.4 eggs.

Result: You'll need approximately 3-4 large eggs to get 4 oz of egg whites.

Important Note: This is a rough estimate. The exact amount of egg whites can vary slightly depending on the size of the eggs you use.
