Egg protein: how much protein is in eggs?
Eggs are a compact protein food that also bring fat and micronutrients. They are useful in breakfast plans, snacks, and simple high-protein meals.
Quick answer
One large egg has about 6g protein. Two large eggs have about 12g to 13g protein.
The exact number depends on egg size. For standardized meal estimates, Fit Crate can use USDA values per 100g and scale by the logged amount.
| Amount | Protein | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 large egg, about 50g | about 6.3g | about 72 kcal |
| 2 large eggs, about 100g | about 12.6g | about 143 kcal |
| 100g whole raw egg | about 12.6g | about 143 kcal |
How Fit Crate uses this
Eggs are easy to add to a meal plan because the serving size is intuitive. The app can count one large egg as roughly 6g protein, then adjust calories based on how many eggs the user logs.
