Three eggs typically contain about 18 to 19 grams of protein. This estimate is based on an average large egg providing approximately 6 to 6.3 grams of protein each, so three large eggs yield around 18.9 grams of protein in total
. For example:
- 3 medium eggs contain about 17 grams of protein
- 3 large eggs contain roughly 18 to 18.9 grams of protein
- The protein is distributed between the egg white (about 3.7 grams per large egg) and the yolk (about 2.7 grams per large egg)
Thus, consuming three eggs is a substantial source of high-quality protein, providing all nine essential amino acids needed by the body.
