How many grams of protein do you count for 1 egg white?

[TOOLifter]

I've been reading 3g - does this sound right?

One large egg white has 3.5g of protein and one whole large egg contains 6.3grams.

Is that right? So to get a healthy 30 grams you need at least 10 egg whites? Sounds like an awful lot

Yup and thats a lot of fuckin eggs to eat, I cant do more than 7-8 at a time

White egg BV is also 12% less than the whole egg, and doesn't have a fabulous amino profile either.

Not really. I buy the cartons of egg whites and each one of them has eight egg whites in it. I have a carton of egg whites and one whole egg for breakfast every day.
I sometimes have it again later on in the day in an omelette.

I eat about 8-12 whole eggs a day and my cholesterol is still low and have no problem leaning out, seems like a waste to buy a carton and toss half of it in the trash by eating only whites.

yah I but the lil cartons.....hehehe
I normally add a little milk or water to them and either scramble them or make an omelette. I dont' find them rubbery. I also add a whole egg to them too.

Yes it is a waste. That's why I buy the cartons of eggwhites. I need to find a place that will sell me like a big bucket of egg whites though cuz I go through 2 of the cartons a day of egg whites.
