An egg contains about 6 grams of proteins. Out of this 3 grams is in Yolk and 3 grams in the egg white. It is better to take full egg instead of separating it because there is lot of good nutrition in the yolk as well. Two full eggs a day is good nutrition. Eggs can be taken with milk, there is no problem in it.
