Whatever fits my goals for the day.0

Whole egg. Egg white has no flavor. All the flavor is in the yolk.0

My vote is for the whole egg. Only 70 calories and 6 grams of protein!1

but is there a difference nutrition wise?0

Of course, but neither one is better on its own. It all depends on how it fits into your calorie/nutrition goals.
Egg whites have 52 calories and 11g of protein per 100g with almost no fat or vitamins/minerals. Whole eggs have 143 calories, 13g of protein, and 10g of fat per 100g with a whole assortment of minerals/vitamins.0 -
whole egg if you are working out, egg white if not....0

Both!
I always have at least one yolk, for all the reasons stated above, vitamins/minerals,taste and the added fat. It's usually 4 egg white to 1 yolk, that balance suits me, 4 yolks contain to much fat and cholesterol to match my daily macros.0 -
good to know thanks, I had a breakfast burrito this morning with one whole egg and 2 egg whites

No need to avoid egg yolks just because you're not working out. Most of the protein is in the egg white anyway.
OP, here is a breakdown of the nutrition within the egg. Personally, I choose whole eggs when I can fit them. The satiety index is high- fat is important for feeling full or satisfied longer.1 -
thank you and I am working out0

I love eggs, but the yolk is the most nutrient dense. I usually take 4 raw egg yolks with some heavy cream and whole milk to make my own "egg nog" for breakfast. An egg yolk is like a natural daily vitamin! The whites I can take them or leave them (apparently you digest them better when cooked), but I would never discard the yolks0

I am allergic to the yolks, but i would eat them if I could, for all the reasons listed above. I eat the whites pretty often though, for the protein punch.0

I volunteer to eat any and all leftover egg products to reduce egg waste as the best food on this earth

I only eat whole eggs.0

i like my eggs scrambled, so mixing whites and whole eggs is a good way for me to get all the protein i want while still keeping my fat/calories lower and maintaining the texture and flavor. i dont like to waste yolks so when i cook eggs i crack a whole one or two and then pour some whites out of a carton. mostly i add the whites for extra physical volume, honestly2

depends.. if you need more protein with relatively few calories, go for the egg whites. If you have room for the cals and fat, then eat the whole egg0
