Are you eating egg whites because you think they are good for you and better than the whole egg?
Think again. The protein building value of an egg white is only 17% (like whey and soy) and not very good. An egg with the yoke has a protein building value of 48%, the highest of ANY food except for BioBuilde. Is it the cholesterol that is worrying you? For most people that is a myth. The experiment has been done many times and for most people eating the whole egg will have no effect on their cholesterol.
Are all eggs created equal?
- No. Free range are best. These chickens are able to roam around and are not kept in confined quarters. Author Umut Newbury wrote in Mother Earth News that a 1974 study found free range eggs had 50% more folic acid and 70% more B12 than factory farm eggs; that a 2003 study showed they had three times higher omega 3 levels and twice the Vitamin E levels and 40% more vitamin A compared to factory farm eggs.
- Best is to find a local farmer and get the eggs fresh.
- Expect to pay more for these eggs.
The quality free range eggs will have yolks that are bright orange and they will be firm and round. If the yolk is small, paler, and easily broken, its nutritional quality is lower.
So now you know. Eat the whole egg. Eat the free range variety with big orange yolks. Eat them as often as you like. The protein value of a whole egg is 50% better than any meat, fish, or poultry and nearly three times better than any dairy or vegetable (including soy) protein. Eggs are a zero carb food and they make a perfect meal with a pile of vegetables that can keep you lean and fit and protein fortified.
