How much protein does an egg contain and how can you make the most of it?

Eggs are one of the most complete and popular foods worldwide, especially among those looking to maintain a healthy diet rich in protein. But do you really know how much protein an egg contains and how you can complement its protein contribution to reach your physical or wellness goals?

Today we explain in detail how much protein an egg contains, how it compares with other protein sources, and how you can incorporate options such as Fit Blend™ by Baïa Food to complete your daily intake in a balanced and functional way.

The amount of protein an egg contains depends on its size. Here we show you a general estimate based on chicken eggs:

• Small egg (S): 4.8 g of protein
  
  

• Medium egg (M): 5.6 g of protein
  
  

• Large egg (L): 6.4 g of protein
  
  

• Extra large egg (XL): 7.2 g of protein

That is, an average egg provides between 5 and 7 grams of protein. Most of it is found in the egg white, although the yolk also contains essential amino acids and healthy fats.

Eggs are considered a complete protein source. This means they contain all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and that are key for:

• Muscle formation and repair
  
  

• Hormone and enzyme synthesis
  
  

• Strengthening the immune system
  
  

• Recovery after exercise

In addition, it is a very versatile food, easy to digest, and suitable for any meal of the day.

If you are an active person, you will most likely need between 1.2 and 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For someone weighing 70 kg, that means a daily target of between 84 and 140 g of protein.

This would mean consuming between 12 and 20 eggs per day if you relied exclusively on them to cover your needs. Although they are healthy, it is not practical (or balanced) to rely solely on eggs as a source of protein.

Fit Blend™ by Baïa Food is a smart solution to help you reach your protein target in a practical and delicious way. It not only includes high-quality whey protein, but also combines functional ingredients to help you feel more fit from the inside out:

• Prebiotic fibers: increase satiety and improve intestinal transit.
  
  

• Postbiotic: helps reduce visceral fat and optimize the microbiota.
  
  

• Chromium: regulates blood glucose, helping control appetite.
  
  

• Ashwagandha: helps combat stress, a factor that can make fat loss and recovery more difficult.
  
  

• Whey protein: supports muscle building and the feeling of fullness.
  
  

With each serving of Fit Blend™, you can get up to 20 grams of highly bioavailable protein, the equivalent of nearly 3 large eggs, in a single easy-to-prepare shake.

Some frequently asked questions from our customers:
