Every 100 kcal of scrambled egg brings 6.7 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 16th of the 20 eggs in this database and 367th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 9.99 g per 100 g ranks 20th in its group.
Around 27% of the calories in scrambled egg come from protein, so it is moderately protein-dense. 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 scrambled egg: 11 g of fat per 100 g against 9.99 g of protein, a ratio of 0.9 to 1.
Set against egg, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.1 g less protein (egg has 6.2 g per 1 large).
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 61 g, and it covers about 12% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Scrambled eggs are usually cooked with milk and fat, which adds weight per egg.
