Egg White Nutrition Basics. According to the Egg Nutrition Center (ENC), the average egg contains about 6.29 grams of protein, 3.6 of which come from the egg white. In addition to proteins, other nutrients found in the egg white are riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, copper, zinc and sodium. Of the 72 calories in an egg, the white comprises around 17.
The yellow part of the egg, which is called the yolk, contains a high level of saturated fat, cholesterol and calories but it also has a fair amount of protein as well. However, the Biological Value (BV) of a whole egg is actually 100 which is the highest rating of any protein source. The yolk also has most of the eggâs nutrients and contains about 22 grams of calcium, 18 IU of Vitamin D and 25 mcg of folate. If you are cutting calories and trying to get really lean, then you might want to limit your intake of egg yolks and stick with just the egg whites.
