Why Do They only Eat Egg Whites
Why is it most fitness experts tell you to eat egg white omelets or don’t eat the egg yolk. One would think the yellow of the egg is too fattening. When in most part they say it has too much cholesterol and is not good for you. While it may be high in cholesterol and saturated fat it is a virtual multi-vitamin store. Even those that do tell you that the yellow has healthy zinc for your body still recommend one egg yolk to three egg whites for an egg white omelet.
The whole egg itself when eaten in it’s entirety is one of the most complete foods going. One gets the protein, minerals and vitamins necessary in todays diet. The egg white has slightly more protein than the yolk only because there is more white than yellow by volume. On the other hand the yolk contains in addition to protein, iron, calcium, zinc, copper, phosphorous,manganese,potassium, selenium, thiamin, riboflavin and most all the B vitamins. Let’s not forget it also contains Vitamins A, D, E, K and the Carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. To get a better break down o n the nutrients go here.
Besides making most foods taste better that have egg as an ingredient together with the white you get a much more complete nutritional source. One other thing to consider and that’s the fact that the yolk also contains a excellent source of essential fatty acids the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which aids in proper brain function.
Eat healthy and enjoy breakfast more, just leave out the home fries and white toast.
