FUN Fact: If you ever wondered, the yolk and the whites of eggs have the same amount of protein
This fact is certainly surprising!! Both the egg white and egg yolk contain 3 grams of protein each. So while we traditionally associate egg whites with protein, they don’t really have an advantage over their yellow counterpart. The main difference, however, is in the calories. While a single yolk contains 3 grams of protein for 60 calories, a single egg white provides you with 3 grams of protein for just 15 calories. So, leaving out the yolk means you can get an equal amount of protein for fewer calories. That being said, due to the high levels of good-for-you micronutrients in egg yolks, we recommend you eat them.
