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.

Yes, that’s correct! As the chick develops inside the egg, it actually absorbs some of the protein from the egg itself, making the protein levels higher
It’s like a little protein boost for the growing chick.
