Conclusion
Wheras the Yolk does contain slightly more Protein, It also contains all the bad things such as Saturated Fat and Cholesterol in scarily high dosages, which has been linked to many health problems, However The Yolk does contain a good source of Folate, Vitamin B12 and Phosphorus, and a very good source of Selenium, Vitamin A, Iron and Calcium. So it is abit of a double edged sword but due to the high levels of fat in Yolk, i would cut it out as much as possible and obtain the Whites from the eggs instead
