Calculating Protein Percentages of Eggs and Peas

[Kiki]

So, this link might help:

https://www.merckvetmanual.com/poul...t-poultry/nutritional-requirements-of-poultry

Note that the charts expand if you hit the X made of arrows in the lower right corner of the chart. You can get info about different ages and even about the requirements of white vs brown egg layers (they are different!!!!!!!! - I had no idea )

Do these numbers means(2850) that a chicken needs that many calories per day?

 

[Kiki]

Of the total calorie needed by the chicken!
Let say that a chicken needs 300 kcal/day then 33%=1/3=100 kcal.

So does an egg have 100 kcals?

CRAP.
Benny....I'm going to get back to you.
I have to do real life now.

No. I am really loosing it...
100gr of raw egg is 143 kcal
So if an egg is 50gr it will be 71.5 kcal.

This I can grasp... but don't get's relevance to the protein inside a fresh egg.... which is listed as both a caloric and weight. 6 grams equals 24 calories. which is 33% of the total caloric intake regardless of volume...

Sorry NO, of the total calorie in the single egg. 33% protein in an egg... NOT relative to daily NEED.

I'm back to post my next question before I forget it.

Are we trying to figure out what percentage of the egg is protein


Or

What percentage of protein one egg makes up in a chickens diet?

100gr of raw egg is 143 kcal

And if a chicken needs say 2500 kcals a day what percent of protein would one egg be?

I would say both.

What percentage of the EGG is protein/fat.... should be relative across the board regardless of egg size... you start with different numbers but should still arrive with the same values with different volumes.

What is the weight of said chicken?
