what it claims

Consume the whole egg (yolk included) rather than limiting yourself to egg whites, as it is a complete food, rich in essential nutrients like choline for the brain and antioxidants, which is beneficial for everyone and not just for athletes.

Current research broadly validates the nutritional richness of the whole egg, particularly the yolk, which houses nearly all of the fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants essential for visual and cellular vitality (review by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health). Regarding choline, a crucial nutrient for cognitive function, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) shows that egg consumption very effectively increases its circulating levels in the body. Furthermore, large observational cohort studies have rehabilitated the egg by proving that regular consumption is not linked to an increase in cardiovascular risk in healthy people, contradicting old dogmas regarding dietary cholesterol. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) also confirm that egg proteins promote muscle synthesis and satiety for general well-being, and not only for bodybuilding enthusiasts. Only the assertion of an absolute universal benefit at every stage of life warrants a slight nuance, as rare observational data suggest taking precautions in the presence of specific metabolic profiles, although clinical trials do not show direct harm.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: B

Linked to, not proven to cause.

Effect: cardiovascular disease risk by egg / dietary-cholesterol intake (pooled cohorts) — up to ~1 egg/day not associated with CVD risk overall (pooled HR near 1.0); a separate cohort found each additional ~300 mg/day dietary cholesterol and each half-egg/day associated with modestly higher CVD and all-cause mortality
Measured on: generally healthy adults; some signal of greater sensitivity in diabetes

This is association data (cohorts), not proof, and it's slightly mixed: most analyses clear moderate egg intake, one large one flags dietary cholesterol. 'Up to 7 a week is harmless for everyone' is a fair rule of thumb for healthy people, with a gentle caveat for diabetes.
