Sport Whole egg or just the egg white?

[biggerty]

I am trying to gain muscle mass (currently 6'6 and weight 195). I am eating very healthy, lots of vegi's, 210 grams of protien a day, low sugar, etc.

I have just been eating egg whites, but someone said I should just eat the whole egg given my goal of gaining muscle mass.

So what should I do?

Eat 2 egg whites instead of 1 whole egg

or

1 whole egg instead of 2 egg whites?

It depends on what else you are eating throughout the day too. Give us more info first, everything you eat.

The yolk will give you more from fat obviously. You need to strive for a lot of carbs and good fats in addition to the protein as well in order to gain weight.

is the yolk good fat? i heard that the yold alsso has vitamins that the whites dont have; if you are working out, dont worry about it and eat the whole egg : )
