Protein content of a boiled egg

How much protein is there in 4 egg whites? A medium-sized egg weighing 44 grams contains 5.53 grams of protein, which means that 12.6% of the edible part of the egg consists of protein. It is worth noting that this amount is available in both the yolk and the white.

In general, one egg contains between 6-7 grams of protein depending on the size of the egg, and the protein in the egg is distributed by approximately two-thirds in the egg white and one-third in the egg yolk.

So if you eat an egg containing 6 grams of protein, the egg white in this case contains approximately 4 grams and the egg yolk contains two grams of protein.

Its relationship to weight loss

According to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity, eating eggs for breakfast enhances weight loss when combined with a diet that reduces the total energy intake (calories) that a person consumes.

On the other hand, eating eggs for breakfast is not associated with weight loss if calories are not reduced.
