The white or albumen of the egg contains slightly more protein than the yolk.
Almost all the actual nutrition in an egg is in the yolk and eating both at the same time is far better nutritionally. Consider not throwing away the most nutritionally dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral part of the egg. The yolk contains so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein and other excellent nutrients that you actually are doing your health a disfavor.
