Considering that the white make up 2\/3 of the egg and the yolk only 1\/3, the white weighs more than the yolk. But this weight can increase or decrease depending on the size of the egg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The egg white of a medium egg is 27 grams, a large egg weighs about 30 grams, and a very large egg weighs 34<\/strong> <strong>grams.<\/strong> <strong>In a large egg containing about 7 grams of protein, 3 grams is the yolk and 4 grams is the white. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your egg size is different than the standard &ldquo;large&rdquo; egg, follow the instructions above for measuring incomplete eggs to find out what half the yolk will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the yolk makes up one-third of the egg, then of course the egg white makes up the remaining two-thirds. <strong>The yolk, or the yellow part of the egg, makes up about 34% of the egg&rsquo;s liquid weight.

An X-sized egg weighs 1.90 ounces when measured as a whole egg.
