Egg whites contain only trace amounts of fat and 4 grams of protein per egg white, where as a whole egg contains 5 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein. While both contain adequate amounts of essential branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s), the fat content in which whole eggs, if consumed in high amounts may impede fat loss – Due to its higher calories from the yolk.
Eating 1 to 2 whole eggs per day, even on a fat loss diet, is highly recommended not only because they contain high amounts of the vitamin B’s like thiamine, folate, riboflavin, B6 and B12, but also because they are high in leucine – which is a key factor in stimulating muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth).
The fat content in yolks can help curb hunger and people who eat whole eggs tend to make greater gains in muscle and strength than those who just consume egg whites – Again mainly due it’s calorie intake and grams of protein!
