    Why wouldn't you just eat the entire egg? You skipped all the vitamins.

    And yes, egg whites have sodium. All food has sodium.

    One large egg white has 55mg of sodium. A good website to check nutrients is:

    I have saved it as a favorite and is a good goto site for confirming nutrients.

    I wouldnt care about sodium unless you have hypertension or have been advised by your doctor to avoid it
