Egg White or Whole Egg


While growing we must have boiled eggs almost every day (except Saturday due to religious reasons). I use to trade yolks for white with my brother. Not sure and I do not remember about the reason I use to get lot of cold than my brother.



Now I am following my father to have eggs at all times but my daughter does not like having yolks. This led me to do some research to find out the importance and nutrition facts of the yolks.

As a whole Egg it has so many nutrition values at affordable price but I am interested in egg white and what it does not have.

Egg White does not have saturated fat (but very little fat), zero cholesterol, B12 & D vitamins are nil as well as iron too.

So avoiding yolks means you are avoiding vitamins B2, B12, D, and iron. If you're concerned about getting enough of those nutrients, a good option would be to eat at least part of  yolk out of one boiled egg. It's still low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, but you'll get some vitamins from the egg yolk.

Be happy eggitarion.. enjoy the delicious and very cheap nutrition food for good health
