Every 100 kcal of egg salad brings 4 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 20th of the 20 eggs in this database and 521st of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 10.3 g per 100 g ranks 18th in its group.
Around 16% of the calories in egg salad come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in egg salad: 23.1 g of fat per 100 g against 10.3 g of protein, a ratio of 0.4 to 1.
Set against cheese omelet, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.4 g less protein (cheese omelet has 8 g per 1 large egg).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving quoted here is counted by piece at 74 g, and it covers about 15% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
