A boiled chicken egg (100 g) contains about 6 to 7 grams of protein. The exact amount can vary depending on factors such as the hen’s diet and the size of the egg.
In comparison, 50 g of boiled quail eggs (around 5 eggs) provide approximately 6.5 grams of protein, even though quail eggs are much smaller in size.
There are many other animal and plant-based sources of protein, including:
- Meat
- Fish
- Beans
- Chickpeas
- Flaxseeds
- Sesame seeds
Maintaining a balanced and varied diet is essential for overall health.
To determine whether your diet is meeting your protein needs, it may be helpful to consult a registered dietitian or nutritionist.
