Yeah, I've read that most eggs have a 50/50 split of protein between white and yolk. Don't be scared offf by the fat in yolks 2, they're great!! Mono and Poly fats make up the bulk of the entire fat found in the yolk, sat fat accounts for about 1/3 of total fat (according to the large egg I'm looking at now!!)

Peace be the Journey!
