Each day, kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh. That's a gram for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need about 60 grams per day.
Elsewhere, the USDA recommends 0.8 grams of protein per day for each kilogram of body mass. This is around 50g per day for most people. By this measure, one egg providese 12% of the average daily intake of protein, making something like 2.5 eggs one serving.
