The settlement served as the county seat of Lincoln County until the Union Pacific Railroad established North Platte as a primary station. Not far away, a military post known as Cantonment McKeen for the commanding officer of the western territory of the Platte Valley was built in 1863.
The amount of protein in an egg varies by the size of the egg. One small egg contains 4.8 grams of protein. There are 5.5 grams in a medium egg; 6.3 grams in a large; and a jumbo egg contains 7.9 grams. Because eggs are relatively inexpensive, they are an affordable source of protein in the diet.
Protein. Each large egg contains 6.3 grams of complete protein -- protein with a balanced amino acid profile, that provides each of the amino acids you need in your diet. Your body uses amino acids -- the nutrients obtained from protein -- as building blocks to build new proteins, cells and tissues. The protein in one egg provides 12 percent of the daily protein requirements for an average 135-pound person, and 9 percent for an average 180-pound person.
