One 1 oz, 22.7 g protein.
Every 100 kcal of egg white protein powder brings 21.2 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 4th of the 11 protein supplements in this database and 26th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 81.1 g per 100 g ranks 3rd in its group.
About 85% of the calories in egg white protein powder 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 egg white protein powder, too little for a protein-to-fat ratio to mean much.
Set against soy protein powder, another protein supplement entry in the database, a serving carries about 2.3 g less protein (soy protein powder has 25 g per 1 scoop).
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 weight at 28 g, and it covers about 45% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

81.1 g. The 1 oz serving used on this page weighs 28 g and so carries 22.7 g.
21.2 g. That figure divides its 81.1 g of protein per 100 g by its 382 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Yes. The protein in egg white protein powder supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own.
About 45%. One 1 oz serving has 22.7 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
