According to nutritiondata.com, 1 raw egg white has 4g. protein. I suspect it would be about the same if it's hard boiled. nutritiondata.com has an incredible wealth of nutritional break-out information for foods, including many by weight/serving size, etc. Leesa

Eggs are a complete source of protein. Both white and yolks contain proteins. The yolk has fats, while the whites do not. One large egg white has 3.6 grams of protein. The whole egg would have about 6.5 grams of protein. Many people avoid the yolks to eliminate fats, however, Omega Eggs can be a great source of omega 3 essential fatty acids, and the yolks are also a great source of lutein, which is important for healthy vision.
