Errr good question Dude
mine has 1g per 100g but egg white and yolk are the 4th ingredient, And there's about 30% oil in there which is the second highest ingredient so it's probably just that eggs make up a minute quanitity

The ratio of eggs to oil is small -- there is more oil than eggs plus when you add in the water & other crap they throw in there is probably why there is little protein. You can make your own mayo in the blender -- just blend eggs & oil till it emulsifies.

I don't think you can use flax oil to make mayo, most use vegetable oil & what you do is put the eggs into a blender turn it on (with the lid on but the middle part out) & stream in the oil till it emulsifies. I guess you could put some flax in while you're doing this. The oil must be added slowly in the beginning until the emulsion is established.
Use 2 egg yolks & 1 whole egg, salt, pepper, lemon juice (2tbl), Dijon mustard and 2 cups corn, vegetable or olive oil (not too fruity). Put it in a blender & with the motor running add the oil in a slow steady stream. The eggs & oil s/b room temperature.
Voila! Mayo without all the chemical crap!!

Did you put all the other stuff in except the oil, run the blender then pour the oil in in a very slow stream? If you did & it didn't work then hmmmmmm I don't know. Sorry dude! It's worked for me before.

oops! didnt know order mattered, figured it all ended up same place anyways. i may try again, but i think ill try on a smaller scale next time i used 1/2 my bottle of oil on the attempt.
