Is It Better To Have Whole Eggs Or Just Egg Whites For Weight Loss?


We all know how the egg white benefits weight loss, however, have you been giving up the yolk completely?
A big part of healthy breakfast is eggs and we all know the importance of a fulfilling breakfast for weight loss.

Whether you like eggs hard or soft boiled; poached or fried;

Spanish or a French omelette, egg protein content and nutritional content are too hard to overlook.

 ‘Do I eat a whole egg with the yolk or just the egg whites’.

You must have heard that the protein and calories in egg white are much superior to that present in egg yolk.

And that, the big bone of contention for the egg yolk is the presence of cholesterol and fat.

The Protein content of the egg

Egg whites are the protein dominant part of the egg! Having said that, the whole egg has a higher content of protein than just the whites.

Sample this, while egg white provides 7% of protein, whole eggs have 10% of the protein in them.

These figures don’t show is the nutritional advantages of the egg yolk. The egg yolk is rich in Iron, Vitamin B2, B12 and D, all of which are absent in the egg whites.

With lower calories, lower fat, lower cholesterol, and higher protein.

Vitamins and iron have a big role to play in your body by helping your metabolism, digestive system etc.

Whole Egg or Egg white?

The cholesterol present in egg yolk is HDL cholesterol, which is actually good for your body, contrary to popular belief.

It is rich in vitamins, iron, and provides fat and calories that are required by your body when taken in the right amount.

The decision to avoid yolk may not be the best, just to avoid some fat, because you end up missing out on other nutrients.

It is always possible to cut down on fat through other measures and regular exercise.

With a carefully planned diet (the one which controls the fat intake), you can consume 3-4 whole eggs a week.
