Protein in Egg.

[clevertrevor]

hey everyone, i waz just wonderin where u find all the protein in an egg.

I read somewhere that the yolk is all fat, and protein is found in the white.

Of coarse, my parents dont think so, and afterall the yolk does taste worse, and protein usually isnt the best.

so white or yolk, you tell me :-)
