That's a lot of protein.
And cholesterol.
No one individual is ever likely to eat an entire egg in one sitting, as one ostrich egg is roughly the equivalent of 24 chicken eggs, according to the Wellsphere website.
Calories
A serving of ostrich egg equal to one chicken egg contains 83 calories, six more than an average-sized chicken egg. An entire ostrich egg contains approximately 2,000 calories, notes Wellsphere. Both types of eggs are approximately 47 percent protein and 45 percent fat.
Advantages
Ostrich eggs are much lower in cholesterol than chicken eggs, and a little lower in saturated fat, making them a healthier choice. Unfortunately, serving one is problematic unless you are feeding a very large family or group of people.
