No there's 6grams of Protein in a large whole egg. 3 of it is in the yolk, 3 of it is in the white. There's also 6grams of fat in the yolk. So IMO it's better to have a couple yolks and a shit load of whites to get your protein in.

I always plan on eating only a few yolks and lots of whites when I hard boil my eggs. However, I just can't make myself throw away the yolks, and I usually end up eating all the eggs whole. They taste too damn good, especially with some salt and pepper. The calories and fat adds up pretty quick when you eat 6 whole eggs.
