  • Rounded down4
  • Rounded up5

Step-by-step

  1. Recipe mass needed = 4 × 50 = 200 g.
  2. Eggs you have = 200 / 44 = 4.545.
  3. For baking: round up + crack the extra into a measure for partial use.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter how many eggs the recipe calls for.
  • Pick the size the recipe specifies.
  • Pick what you actually have.
  • Crack the rounded-up count and weigh out exactly the needed mass for precision.

About this calculator

In USDA egg grading: small = 38g, medium = 44g, large = 50g, extra-large = 56g, jumbo = 63g (without shell). Recipes assume large unless stated. Substituting size is straightforward by total mass: 4 large = 200g, ≈ 4.5 medium or 3.6 jumbo. For cakes and custards where egg ratio matters, weigh; for cookies and most savory dishes, count is fine. Bakeries weigh — 200g of egg is 200g whether it's 4 large or 3.5 jumbo.

Frequently asked

In baked goods with high egg ratio (custards, soufflés, cakes). For most cooking — scrambled, fried, in dough — count is fine.
