even though whole eggs are loaded with cholesterol, I feel that these eggs are loaded with good fats. I also get much more energy in the gym from eating whole eggs over egg whites. What's everyone's opinion on this?

I thought most of the nutrients in eggs come from the yolk

Eggs are the best protein food that you can get. It has the highest biological value (94%) of any food, which is a measure of the protein quality and how much of the body uses that protein to support growth. This provides the most amino acids for growth and tissue maintenance than any other food. A significant part of the egg’s protein comes from the yolk. Therefore, you should not shy away from the saturated fat in the egg yolk because this will help increase testosterone levels, which is a precursor for muscle growth. Eggs contain around 6 grams of high quality protein. Eggs are also rich in many essential vitamins and contain all eight essential amino acids that are needed for proper muscle growth and recovery.
