Which food is considered a protein?
A
eggs
B
noodles
C
butter
D
yogurt
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eggs are considered one of the highest quality forms of protein ahead of cow’s milk and beef. Egg whites are especially renowned for their high levels of protein, however yolk contains more on a gram for gram basis. Egg whites have 10.8g per 100g but are trumped by egg yolk which contains 16.4g per 100g.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ovalbumin is the major protein (54%) along with ovotransferrin (12%) and ovomucoid (11%). Other proteins of interest include flavoprotein, which binds riboflavin, avidin, which can bind and inactivate biotin, and lysozyme, which has lytic action against bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although protein can be found in both the egg white and the yolk, the yolk actually has a higher concentration of protein than the white-but as there is more white in the egg, this means the white provides more protein overall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eggs: The High-Protein Powerhouse With six grams of protein, an egg is a nutritious choice for anyone who wants to adopt a healthier eating regimen. If you’re on a high-protein diet, not many foods can pack a protein punch quite like eggs. High-protein diets can help build lean muscle and burn fat.
