Quick answer
Egg white protein powder is dried, powdered egg white: a dairy-free, lactose-free protein with almost no fat or sugar. Myprotein Egg White Powder is the plain version, with 77g of protein per 100g and 0g of sugars in Unflavoured, for £1.03 per 25g of protein in the 900g bag, checked 3 October 2026 on myprotein.com. WheyWise read every label here on the brand or retailer page, and egg white makes most sense if you cannot have dairy or want a protein that bakes well; if dairy is fine, whey costs about the same and is better studied.

What is egg white protein powder?
Egg white protein powder is the white of the egg without the yolk, dried into a shelf-stable powder you can shake, blend or bake with. Myprotein files it under food and drink rather than shakes, and its 30g serving gives 23g of protein in 103 kcal. Flavoured powders add sweetener and, in some cases, fats: PER4M Egg White Protein lists egg albumin, coconut oil powder and MCT powder, and gives 21g of protein per 30g scoop, according to the UK retailers that stock it.
How does egg white protein compare with whey?
Plain egg white is cheaper per gram of protein than Myprotein's standard whey, at £1.03 per 25g of protein against £1.27, while flavoured egg protein costs about the same as whey.

Does egg white protein build muscle?
It supplies protein like any other source, but the direct evidence is thin. In Hida et al., 2012, 30 female college athletes took 15g of egg white protein or a matched carbohydrate drink before training for 8 weeks. Fat-free mass and strength rose in both groups, and the egg white group showed no extra gain in body composition or strength. That was a small daily dose on top of a normal diet, so it says more about 15g being too little to stand out than about egg protein itself.
Who should use egg white protein?
Egg white protein suits people who avoid dairy but eat eggs, and anyone who wants an unflavoured protein for baking. Skip it if whey agrees with you, since whey is better researched and costs about the same, and skip it if you are vegan or allergic to egg. For dairy-free alternatives side by side, read the dairy-free protein powder UK guide, and for whey, egg and plant picks together see the best vegetarian protein powder UK guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is egg white protein dairy free?
The protein is. Unflavoured Myprotein Egg White Powder is 100% egg white powder, and PER4M's UK stockists describe its Egg White Protein as naturally lactose free and dairy free. Both carry may-contain warnings for milk, so neither is a safe choice for a severe milk allergy, checked 3 October 2026.
Is egg white protein better than whey?
Not for most people. Myprotein Egg White Powder has 77g of protein per 100g against 72g for Myprotein Impact Whey Vanilla, and costs £1.03 per 25g of protein against £1.27 in the 900g bags, checked 3 October 2026, but whey has far more research behind it. Egg white is the better choice mainly if you avoid dairy.
Is egg white protein vegetarian?
Yes, for vegetarians who eat eggs. Myprotein lists its Egg White Powder as suitable for vegetarians, and its flavoured versions use free-range dried egg white, checked 3 October 2026. It is not vegan.
