How much protein is in an egg?

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the protein content of eggs depends on the size of the egg. Here is a breakdown of the protein content of different types of eggs:

- One medium egg weighing 44 grams contains 5.5 grams of protein.

- A large 50 gram egg contains 6.3 grams of protein.

- One large 56 gram egg contains 7 grams of protein.

- A large 63 gram egg contains 7.9 grams of protein.

Protein in egg yolks and egg whites

Egg yolks are said to be the only place where most of the nutrients and fat are found, so they essentially contain half of the protein content of an egg. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there are about 2.7 grams of protein in the yolk of a large 63-gram egg and 3.6 grams of protein in a 33-gram raw egg white.
