[Coldog2g]

just curious if anyone knows how many grams of protein are in an egg?

1 whole egg x large has about 7-7.5g 1 egg white has about 3.5.

if anyone remembers the first Rocky movie, he wakes up in the morning, cracks 5 eggs into a glass, and drinks it. He could have gotten the same amount of protein by eating a piece of chicken. Is there something special about egg protein?

It's the most complete source of Protein there is. MOre complete than even chicken. That's what it says in the nutrition books at least. Eggs are at the top of the list.

...the question is...out of the 6g of protein...how much of it is actually digestible? What's the BV on egg protein?

[Hypertrophy]

. . . the answer is mid 90's out of a 100. It is pretty high in BV. The highest their is!!
