How much protein is in 1 egg white, and how much in the yolk?

 

[Tuna Guy]

On average i think its about 4 grams for the egg white and 3 for the yolk. Then again i could be wrong.

According to Corinne T. Netzer author of The Complete Book of FOOD COUNTS,

whole 75 cal. 6.3gr. protien .6gr carbo.
whiteb 17 3.5 .3
yolk 59 2.8 .3
yolk also has 5.1 fat gr.

I would recomend this book to anyone trying to count anything with their food intake. It has everything in it from A la king sauce mix to Mc donalds happy meals to zucchini breaded.

A large whole eggs contains 6g protein. 3.5g protein in the white, 2.5g protein in the yolk.

1 cup of egg whites is 26g protein.

And remember, it's the combination of the white and yolk that make an egg complete protein. The yold also has the cholesterol which spurs hormone production. Eating just the whites is missing out on a lot of the benefit.

Eggs are the best form of food protein -- better than whey. But not as good as the super plasma protein in GEAR. That's in a class by itself.
