Eggs in general are high in protein, but the yellow of the egg is where all of the cholesterol and fat is. The yellow is also where the bulk of the calories reside. If you just eat the egg white, you get the protien benefits w/o the negative calories, fat and cholesterol.
2 :
I suggest you boil the eggs and eat all the white stuff because it is good for you and dump all the bad stuff because it is bad for you.

You can't say that it is bad, both are healthy and full of proten, but the Chicken Egg yolk contains: 55 calories & the white contains: 17 Calories

both Birds exploited for their eggs, called â€œlaying hensâ€ by the industry, are crammed together in wire cages where they donâ€™t even have enough room to spread a single wing. The cages are stacked on top of each other, and the excrement from chickens in the higher cages constantly falls on those below. Their sensitive beaks are cut off so that they donâ€™t peck each other out of the frustration created by the unnatural confinement, and farmers often deprive birds of food for as long as 14 days in order to shock their bodies into producing more eggs (the practice is called forced-molting). 5 After their bodies are exhausted and their production drops, they are shipped to slaughter, generally to be turned into chicken soup or cat or dog food because their flesh is too bruised and battered to be used for much else. Because the male chicks of egg-laying breeder hens are unable to lay eggs and are not bred to produce excessive flesh for the meat industry, they are killed. Every year, more than 100 million of these young birds are ground up alive or tossed into bags to suffocate. http://www.goveg.com/factoryFarming_chickens.asp consumption of meat, eggs, and dairy products has also been strongly linked to osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and male impotence. Non-organic meats, eggs and dairy usually refer to the fact that the animals may have given fed antibiotics, hormones, ground up remains of other animals, and other dangerous substances that often end up in these foods fed to humans. The growing use of chemicals is a disaster for the health of the animals (other than fatting up the animal quickly for the slaughter). Regular ingestion of traces of these chemicals is a health disaster waiting to happen. For example, regular, long-term ingestion of non-organic dairy from cows injected with Monsanto's genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) has recently been shown to be a high risk for prostrate and breast cancers. http://www.holisticmed.com/toxic/pesticides.htm
