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. Although egg whites are a source of dietary potassium, the yolks are rich in vitamin A, phosphorus, iron, zinc and vitamin D.

Youâll get plenty of protein no matter which part of the egg you enjoy -- the white or the yolk. Egg whites, however, have a bit more protein and arenât full of unhealthy components found only in the yolk. If you separate a whole large egg and pull out the yolk, youâll get about 3.6 grams of protein from the whites. The yolk of a large egg has 2.7 grams of protein.
