The protein found in egg white is called ovalbumin. Ovalbumin is the main protein component of egg white and represents approximately 54% of the total protein content in a chicken egg. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids required by the human body for growth and maintenance. Ovalbumin denatures and coagulates when exposed to heat, which is why egg whites solidify when cooked.

Egg whites: Almost all the energy in egg whites comes from protein, whereas honey is essentially only sugar and no protein. It would take one cup of honey to have the same amount of protein as 2 teaspoons of egg white (that's a third of the white of one egg)... So honey is not a source of protein, it's a source of sugar. Egg whites are an excellent source of carb-free and fat-free protein.
