What kind of nutrients can be found in the yolk of an egg?
Is the yolk protein or is it the white of the egg that's made of protein?
Thanks.

100g of egg white, raw, fresh contains the following

The information is based on 100g, this being the industry standard. Different size eggs provide differing contents. If you live in the UK the Nutritional information is printed on the inside of the lid, but not broken down as white and yolk
Have provided you with the main nutritional data. To provide you with all the data would keep me here for hours typing.
There other vitamins and minerals and others you have never heard of like ash..
Hope this gives to sufficient information . Both the white and yoke contain protein the main difference is in the fat content.
Lots of body builders just use the white to gain protein discarding the yolk
