One egg has about 6 grams of protien. 3 grams are in the egg white and 3 grams are in the egg yolk. The egg white does not contain any fat but the yolk contains 5 grams of fat. If you are on a low fat diet than the yolks are bad, otherwise they are fine.

When I was trying to loose massive amouints of weight, I didn't worry about fat - at all. By keeping the carbs low, my fat came off- regardless of how much fat I ate. To get the last bit of fat off like going blow 11 or 12% is trickier, and more elements need to come into play.

A lot of people discuss diets for this and I suspect that it isn't really so relevent for many of the board readers who are trying to cut starting at 20% bf.
