Quick answers

Which one provides more protein?

It depends on the portion. Skyr often makes high protein with little fat easier, while eggs add protein, fat, and the texture of a complete meal.

Which one works better for fat loss?

Plain skyr often makes protein per calorie easier. Eggs still fit when their quantity and cooking fats stay within the day’s overall intake.

Can you eat both at breakfast?

Yes, but you do not need both to build a good meal. Combine them only when total portion, appetite, and the rest of the day justify it.
