Dear EMILOU, Thank you for your enquiry. In response to your question, although the white from egg does have greater protein content than the yolk, the energy content is much lower and to achieve adequate energy intake from a protein serve of egg whites, you will need a lot of egg whites. Therefore, yes you may use egg whites to help bind your vegetables together, however I would not recommend this on a daily basis. Alternatively, why not use the Tony Ferguson Simply Fibre as a binding agent for your patties. This will allow you to have a full serving of protein in your day. If you should have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Angela TF
