One egg contains approximately between 5.2 and 7.5 grams of protein, depending on its size. For example, a medium egg has about 6.4 grams of protein, a large egg about 7.5 grams, and a very large egg around 8.7 grams
. The protein is distributed between the egg white and yolk, with the white providing slightly more protein overall due to its larger volume, though the yolk has a higher concentration of protein per gram. In a large egg, about 3.6 grams of protein come from the white and 2.7 grams from the yolk
. Thus, for an average-sized egg, you can expect roughly 6 to 7 grams of protein total.
