Protein content
24 g of protein in 1 cup (240 g) of liquid egg substitute, or 20.8 g for every 100 kcal it supplies.
Share of this food's calories that come from protein - it is extremely protein-dense.

One 1 cup, 24 g protein.
Every 100 kcal of liquid egg substitute brings 20.8 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 2nd of the 20 eggs in this database and 33rd of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 10 g per 100 g ranks 19th in its group.
About 83% of the calories in liquid egg substitute come from protein, which makes it extremely protein-dense - close to the practical ceiling for a whole food. Foods in this band are the ones that let you raise your protein intake without raising your calorie intake much at all.
USDA lists 0 g of fat per 100 g of liquid egg substitute, too little for a protein-to-fat ratio to mean much.
Set against goose egg, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 4 g more protein (goose egg has 20 g per 1 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 measured by volume at 240 g, and it covers about 48% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.
Made mostly from egg white, so it is fat free but keeps complete protein.

Portion weights are the household measures listed on the USDA record; protein and calories scale from the per-100 g figures.
Amino acids
| Amino acid | Per 100 g | Per serving | mg per g protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| leucine | 0.972 g | 2.33 g | 97 |
| lysine | 0.713 g | 1.71 g | 71 |

| histidine | 0.257 g | 0.62 g | 26 |
| tryptophan | 0.164 g | 0.39 g | 16 |
Per-100 g values are the amino acid analysis on the USDA record. The serving and per-gram-of-protein columns are arithmetic on those values; they are not a protein quality score.

10 g. The 1 cup serving used on this page weighs 240 g and so carries 24 g.
20.8 g. That figure divides its 10 g of protein per 100 g by its 48 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Yes. The protein in liquid egg substitute supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own.
About 48%. One 1 cup serving has 24 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
