So by doing this experimen we know that, grade of the egg do determine the protein content on the egg. Egg is actually the most important source of protein and it is cheap compare to another source of protein like fish, meat, milk and other. Protein is usefull in order to built cell in children and replace dead cell in children and adult. They are many types of egg in the market and we should know what determine the qualitiy, protein content, or even which types that have vitamin that is vital for us to keep healthy.

Egg selection by price
Egg as source of diet
A good egg as a source of diet should contain over 6g of protein and 300 mg of cholesterol. Egg has several nutrients that are important to our body such as choline, vitamin A, vitamin B, selenium and others. One egg has about 80 calories with more than 5 gram of fat. So keep in our mind that one egg is enough for a good diet. 3-4 egg may bring harm to us.
