ELI5- Does an egg’s protein levels change as the chick develop?

316 views

I watching a survival show and one of the survival experts said that an egg with a chick inside has more protein. I understand an egg is laid with all the nutrients necessary for a chick to grow inside so I wondered how a an egg with a chick inside could have more protein than an egg with just the whites and yolk.

Edit: slight rephrasing of the question to be more clear.

Simple. He was wrong. Unless the egg in question had amino acids that were turned into protein, in which case it would become less easily digestible since our body is break down protein into amino acids to use it
