According to Encyclopedia of Food Values by Corinne Netzer:
1 large egg .....6.3g protein
1 lg egg yolk ...2.8g protein
1 lg egg white ..3.5g protein

Thank you, sin nombre, for your answer. And Annette, I do appreciate your listing the grams of protein in an egg. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer. Have an OP day!
