ELI5- Does an egg’s protein levels change as the chick develop?

312 views

I watching a survival show and one of the survival experts said that an egg with a chick inside has more protein. I understand an egg is laid with all the nutrients necessary for a chick to grow inside so I wondered how a an egg with a chick inside could have more protein than an egg with just the whites and yolk.

Edit: slight rephrasing of the question to be more clear.

Protein content inside the egg white and yolk decreases. But if you’re planning to eat the egg along with the chick you’ll get the same amount of protein
