eggs- is the white part where the protein is
The most abundant nutrient in egg whites is protein. The white from one large egg contains 3.6 grams of protein, and roughly 85 percent of the egg white's calories come from its protein content. Like other animal sources of protein, egg whites provide all the essential amino acids your body needs from your diet.
Depending on the size of the egg, albumen accounts for most of an eggâs liquid weight, about 66%. The white contains more than half the eggâs total protein, a majority of the eggâs niacin, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium and sodium, and none of the fat. The white of a large egg contains about 17 calories. Albumen color is opalescent and doesnât appear white until an egg is beaten or cooked.
