When it comes to healthy foods and losing weight and just getting in shape in general..

Eggs are usually part of the conversation with diet. And there’s a lot of speculation about whether or not they’re good for you and also, if you should eat the whole egg or just the egg white.

I’m here to clear up the confusion on whether the whole egg is best or if taking the yolk out is better for you.

But there truly is no conclusive right or wrong answer here because the truth is that they both have their ups and their downs.

Whole Eggs:

The only difference here is that the whole egg is going to contain the yolk..

So let’s explain exactly what’s in the yolk.

Regardless of what you’ve heard..

The yolk is a great source of healthy fats, like essential fatty acids (EFA’s) and micronutrients..

Such as:

• Vitamin K2
• Choline
• Biotin
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin B6
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K
• Iron
• Zinc

All of these vitamins put together help your body in hundreds of different ways.

Egg Whites:

Again, the only different here is that the egg white is the egg with the yolk taken out..

So let’s explain exactly what’s in the egg white.

And what you’ve heard is probably right..

The egg white is made up almost completely of protein..

Which makes it extremely low calorie.

The Conclusion:

If you’re looking for a quick, high protein, low calorie meal, egg whites are the way to go. But if you’re going for overall nutrition content, the whole egg blows the egg white out of the water.
