Eggs replacing whey

I ran out of whey and so until I buy it again I'm having egg whites and an apple as pre w/o.I know that egg proteins are slower absorbed so how long before working out should I have this meal to get the amino-acid peak when most needed(i.e. to get the same benefits of the whey shake taken 20 min before w/o)?
 
Before working out (since 3 hours before) I cut fats,anyway I think that adding fats(whole eggs) to the proteins can slow down digestion.

To my knowlegde the protein content of the white is roughly the same as the yolk, the difference is the fat content.
 
Fat doesn't slow or prevent protien absorbtion. Thats funny since it's the oposite of a myth that fat was required for protein to be absorbed.

I'd eat the whole egg, egg fat isn't bad.

True. Here's the info from FitDay:

Egg, white only, cooked: Cals 16, protein 3g, carb 0g, fat 0g

Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled: Cals 78, protein 6g, carb 1g, fat 5g
 
100gr of egg whites: 10 prot - 1 carb - 0 fat - 47 kcal
100gr of whole eggs: 13 prot - 1 carb - 11 fat - 155 kcal

An average egg would be:

13% shell
26% yolk
61% white
 
ok back to the oryginal question
how about soy protein powder (still fast protein isn't it??) as before training meat ??
