Anyoneknow the egg white/yoke protein ratio

[mort]

Hey guy's,

Does anyone here know how much protein is in an egg white and how much in the yoke? I've heard something like 50/50 but not that wasn't conclusive. Perhaps Mr.X has some insight on this subject.

Thanks,

Mort

if a whole egg has 8gram fat i believe and the eggwhites have 3.5

8-3.5=yolk fat

hmm if im correct (i'm stateting this from what i remember so could be wrong) a whole egg has 9 gr prot. And a white has 3 so there's 6 grams in the yolk. Would make it a 1:2 ratio.

A normal egg has 6g protein, 4.5g fat. About 3.5g of this protein are in the white. It's best to eat the whole egg anyway in my opinion. Bodybuilders tend to be too extreme in their restriction of dietary fat, and a few eggs certainly won't hurt. The only downside is that yolks are rich in arachidonic acid.

4 grams in the white and 4 grams in the yoke.

or was it the other way around....

Typically 1:1 ratio. The reason the yolk is included so many times is the lecithin in the yolk helps to keep the cholesterol that many are worried about at bay.
