An average large egg contains about 6 to 7 grams of protein. The exact amount depends on the size of the egg:

• Small egg (about 38-48 grams): approximately 4.8 to 5.2 grams of protein
• Medium egg (44-58 grams): about 5.5 to 6.4 grams of protein
• Large egg (50-68 grams): around 6.3 to 7.5 grams of protein
• Extra large egg (56-78 grams): roughly 7 to 8.7 grams of protein
• Jumbo egg (63 grams and above): approximately 7.9 grams or more of protein

Both the egg white and yolk contain protein, with the white providing more protein overall due to its larger volume, though the yolk has a higher concentration per gram

. In summary, a typical large egg provides about 6.3 grams of high-quality, complete protein, which includes all nine essential amino acids
