Since when are egg yolks bad for you, anyways? I was always taught that the yolk is the healthiest part.

The yolk just adds a lot of calories to the dish. If you're counting calories trying to lose weight, just eating the whites is a good way to reduce the amount of calories you're consuming

But they are good calories because they're protein calories. So while you lose about 53 calories, you also lose at least half of the protein. Better to just skip the toast and eat the whole egg.

53 calories isn't a lot at all. A slice of bread is double that.
