When does he do his workout? You need to time when he takes the carbs in: morning time, Before and right after a workout. He needs more EFA's. Make sure he stays away from anything with sugar (get plain ass oatmeal & Yogurt). As long as it's a calorie deficit for him and he works out on a regular basis, it sounds good.

EDIT: 5 whites and 2 yolks doesn't sound bad. Egg yolks do have cholesterol & fat but make up in the good vitamins and minerals they have.

The yolk contains less water and more protein than the white, some fat, and most of the vitamins and minerals of the egg. These include iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, phosphorus, calcium, thiamine, and riboflavin. The yolk is also a source of lecithin, an effective emulsifier. Yolk color ranges from just a hint of yellow to a magnificent deep orange, according to the feed and breed of the hen.
