Eggs are an exquisite source of protein and relatively cheap too. They have a very high biological value and a full complement of valuable and non-essential amino acids. In short, if you wanted a complete and easy to discharge protein source look no added than eggs.

With that said there are a few considerations you might want to make when buying and preparation eggs. First of all some of the protein in an egg is found in the yolk, so if you separate your whites and discard the yolk you will also be lowering the protein content of each egg you purchased and therefore expanding the price per gram of protein.

Second point is that eggs come in different sizes, and therefore the estimate of protein they contain is different. For example the Us division of agriculture categorizes eggs as small, medium, large, extra large, and jumbo. Each size has a different estimate of protein as follows:

Body

Egg

Size of Egg                Grams of Protein                    Grams of Protein

                           (whole egg together with yolk)               (White Only)

Small                                4.8                                               2.7 

Medium                            5.5                                               3.2

Large                                6.3                                               3.6

Extra Large                        7                                                   4

Jumbo                              7.9                                                4.6

 

As you can see about 58% of the protein in an egg is contained in the white, the rest is in the yolk. So if you like to separate the yolk out of your egg you're losing 42% of the protein in each egg. This is not very cost sufficient if you're eating eggs for their protein content. Every time you throw away a yolk you're unquestionably throwing away practically half the protein in the egg as well.

The yolk of an egg provides lots of nutrients that your body needs, there is no infer to throw it away. The cholesterol and fat content of the yolk will only lead a small quantum to your extensive daily intake with no detrimental effects.

Scrambled, poached, sunny side up, omelet, over easy, over hard, Benedict, whatever. Eggs are a great way to get your protein requirement for the day.
