Protein in eggs?

Sry I know this is a dumb question but how much protien is in a single egg if you boil it and take the yolk out, so it will just be egg white

  1. Wrong answer Atomic, it's almost 1/2&1/2 but the white has more.

    Egg Protein

    A large egg provides 6 grams of protein

    Protein content of egg white=3.6g, protein content of egg

    yolk=2.7g

    Because of their high protein content, eggs are included in

    the meat, fish, poultry, nuts and beans group of the US

    Food Guidance Systems.

    Eggs have the highest quality protein in the food supply with

    the amino acid pattern almost matching the human re-quirement

    for essential amino acids (FAO protein

    value=100)

    Digestibility of egg protein is 97%. This means that 97% of the

    egg protein is absorbed as amino acids, which are avail-able

    for new protein synthesis and replacement of lost

    protein.

    Cooked egg protein is more digestible than raw egg protein

    (cooked egg protein digestibility=90.9%+/-0.8, raw egg

    protein digestibility=51.3+/-9.8)

    The biological value of egg protein is 94%. Biological value is

    a measure of the rate at which the protein in food sup-ports

    growth. Eggs and milk have the highest biological

    value and provide more amino acids for growth and tissue

    maintenance than even meat, including beef, chicken, pork

    and fish.


  2. very little

    all the protein is in the yolk

  3. A whole hard-boiled egg (including the yolk) has 6.3g of protein.

    A hard-boiled egg white has 3.6 g of protein.
