Egg whites contain only trace amounts of fat and 4 grams of protein per egg white, where as a whole egg contains 5 g of fat and 6 g of protein. While both contain solid amounts of essential BCAAs (Basic chain amino acids), the fat content in whole eggs is higher, eating 1 to 2 whole eggs per day, even on a pre workout or training days, is highly recommended not only because they contain high amounts of the B vitamins thiamine, folate, riboflavin, B6 and B12, but also because they are high in leucine, a key factor in stimulating muscle hypertrophy.
Research shows that the fat contained in yolks can help curb hunger and people who eat whole eggs make greater gains in strength and muscle mass than those who consume just egg whites.
