Egg whites contain slightly more protein than egg yolks. One large egg white contains 3.6 grams of protein -- compared with 2.7 grams of protein found in egg yolks, according to the U.S. Department of Agricultureâs National Nutrient Database.

Eating the whites provides your body with protein, as well as some vitamins important for maintaining your health. The most abundant nutrient in egg whites is protein. The white from one large egg contains 3.6 grams of protein, and roughly 85 percent of the egg white's calories come from its protein content.
