question about nutritional split in eggs

[Determination]

I've read that egg whites have no carbs and that the protein in the egg is split evenly between them and the yolk

but looking up nutritional facts on eggs around the net, that doesn't seem right...egg whites do in fact have carbs (very little, but when you eat a lot of them, it may add up to 2g...let's be anal here)

Then I'm confused as to how much protein the eggs I buy have.

They're 70 calories each, 4.5 g of fat, 1g carb, 6g protein. So far, for the egg whites I've been doing 0 and 0 for carb and fat, and 3g for protein...at 17 calories...which of course doesn't add up cause 3g of protein equals 12 calories.

but maybe each egg white has a little more protein and a trace of carbs?? I don't know...I just want to have this stuff right. if you can help me out with this overly anal stuff, it'd be appreciated

Buy the whites in the cartons, if you want to be exact.

Those are two expensive to my liking. I get a box of 5 dozen eggs for like 4 bucks at wallmart.

That doesn't even get me a quart of egg beaters

one large egg white:

16.5 calories
3.5 g protein
.5 g carbs
0 g fat

thanks for that link!

according to that it's 17 cal (which I had)...but 3.6g of protein and .24g carb (and .06g fat, which I doubt I'll count, heh)

3.6g of protein, here I thought I was getting 3/per egg white...makes a big difference considering how many eggs I eat

Thanks a lot for your help
