Based on this article I wouldn’t trust anything written on this site. This article is just plain false. The most beneficial and nutrient dense part of an egg is the yolk…if you take out the yolk it’s like drinking fruit juice instead of eating the whole fruit which is much healthier.

The cholesterol in eggs is HDL which is a cholesterol your body needs and actually helps regulate the bad cholesterol (LDL).

Do not just eat egg whites…keep the yolk in there…nature knows what it’s doing. Just make sure you get cage free organic eggs and you can’t go wrong. Whole foods actually has cage free/soy free which was cool to see.

I’ve been doing a lot of research as I’m in kind of a tough program. I’m trying to really pack on muscle and lose a lot of the fat I have. Its tough because you’re balancing the weight and fat needed for true strong muscle building and still be losing all of that unhealthy weight. A lot of pro weight lifters and stuff usually just go with whole eggs but then I saw that as they prep for a show where they need to be more cut they change it up. They will mix one whole egg with like 4 or 5 egg whites. That way they do get that “healthy moderate” benefits from the whole egg but they also get the benefits listed above with the egg whites in the larger quantity.

[...] Egg Whites Vs. Whole Eggs | Be Healthy and RelaxWe have all seen the advertisements and have heard the popular diets calling to eat egg whites over whole eggs, but many of us have never heard why this is so important. [...]

this article is stupid to be quite honest. Eating whole eggs are fine. THE FDA are idiots. our Ancestors lived eating fats, meat, fruit and berries. The fact that it is recommeded we eat 300 carbs a day is insane. Saturated fats and Cholesterol from food is good for you its just you should watch our intake. Our grandparents lived into there 8-’s and 90′s eating eggs bacon and toast with butter and on top of that most smoked! Witht hat said teh real problem lies with processed food and carbs.

While the yolk does contain much of the nutritional value of an egg I would much rather take a vitamin and eat the egg whites. In terms of calories per protein ratio few natural foods are superior when trying to lose weight and or gain muscle. I like many others I know would trade the calories for the vitamins easily. A much better practice would be to use 3/4 egg whites and 1/4 regular egg for flavor cause when you think about it that’s why you really want the yolk.

It just makes me cringe when people toss out the yolk because of fat and cholesterol. First of all, dietary fat and cholesterol has very little if any impact on your blood lipids. Furthermore, your body needs all three kinds of fat (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated) as well as cholesterol in order to function properly. Saturated fats are broken down into components in your liver, some of which are converted to healthy essential fatty acids and when you try to restrict dietary cholesterol your body simply makes more of it. Lastly, by discarding the yolk, you are missing all those valuable fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A, E, and K. Without enough dietary fat, your body is unable to even use the very nutrients that we eat certain food for in the first place. For example, “health concious” people tend to drink skim milk because of all the dreaded fat in whole milk, the problem with this is without the fat your body is unable to absorb the calcium and vitamin D it needs. Whole eggs are a much better choice than egg whites only. I find it immensely disterbing that everyone seems to accept the low fat dogma without even doing their own research. Current research clearly points to moderate fat and moderate carbohydrate intake as much healthier than low fat, high carbohydrate diets, not to mention much more effective for weight loss, muscle building, and health maintenance.
