Not very well named are you?
The white "gue" is albumen. A protein. The yellow is yolk. The guey meat thing is a chicken embryo.

That would be the unfertilised ( or fertilised, but unlikely unless the rooster has been making visits to the hens ) egg. Though you refer to the yolk, the white and that "meat thing" as the egg, it is the "meat thing" that is the egg which has to be fertilised while still inside the hen before it becomes a embryo and then a chick.
It will not be an embryo if it hasn't been fertilised.

Guys please be serious :-)
To answer this, one must ask what is meat?
Meat is muscle, which is composed of mainly protein.
Secondly, we must ask what is an egg?
An egg is a single unfertilised cell, that has been calcified over and over again leaving a hard shell. The yolk is actually the nucleus of the cell and the white is the cytoplasm.
So, in the context of everyday food...where is the meat?
It isn't there!

Chick has to hatch from the egg and develop into a chicken with meat.

the white portion is the albumen which contains food for the developing chick,the yellow portion is just an embryo then it divides to form several layers of cells just as we evolved frm a single cell the meat comes out of the single cell,yellow portion

Unless the egg was fertilised, the 'gue' will not develop into a meaty little chick.

the meaty bit joins the white and the yoke, and would develop into an umbilicle cord if the egg was fertilised
(the white would be the chick and the yellow would be the food for it)

Well, as a technicality the yellow goo is the beginnings of meat in it's simplest form.

the gooey meat thing is the chicken embryo as it grows it consumes the white and the yolk and when the food runs out -- it hatches!!!

Depends on the chicken
