I like the fat, I guess. Plus it's far cheaper to get my P from the whole egg instead of egg white or cartons of whites. Every yolk has 3g of P, just like every white does (both from a large egg)
Egg, white only, raw, calories 17, 0 F, 0 C, 3 P
Egg, yolk only, raw, calories 61, 5 F, 0 C, 3 P
Extra large eggs are $1.17 per dozen at TJ's. They have even more P, but assuming 6g per egg, that's 1.6 cents per gram of P (and delicious).
Egg whites are $4.99 for 16 servings of 6g of P. That's 5.2 cents per gram of P (and not delicious).
