White is almost nothing BUT protein.
All of the fat soluble vitamins, (A, D, E and K) are found in the egg yolk. Egg yolks are one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D. Egg yolk is a source of lecithin, an emulsifier.
A large yolk contains more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300mg of cholesterol.
The major proteins found in egg white (> 1% of the total protein content) are listed below:
* Ovalbumin 54%
* Conalbumin 13%
* Ovomucoid 11%
* Lysozyme 3.5%
* Globulins (G2, G3) 8.0% (?)
* Ovomucin 1.5%
Other protein components include, flavoprotein (.8%), ovoglycoprotein (.5%), ovomacroglobulin (.5%), ovoinhibitor (.1%) and avidin (.05%).

yolks are a major source of vitamins and minerals. They contain all of the egg's fat and cholesterol, and almost half of the protein.
The yolk makes up about 33% of the liquid weight of the egg; it contains approximately 60 calories, four times the caloric content of the egg white.

I have no clue where those people got their info but it isn't the yolk has all the bad stuff in it. The bad fat and HDL (bad cholesterol).
You go Christopher L. Thanks for gathering all that info. My husband went to school for nutrition and you are absolutely right the white has the most protein.

The yolk has all the nutrition in it. It has fat, cholesterol, protein, calories, etc. The egg white has almost no nutritional value whatsoever.
