Egg Nutrition...?

Eating two eggs a day is known to offset your cholesterol if you don't work hard to moderate it elsewhere, but I wanted to know what the nutritional value of just the egg whites are? This is a list of what I've found eggs to have:





Vitamins


A: good for the skin and growth.


D: strengthens bones by raising calcium absorption.


E: protects cells from oxidation.


B1: helps properly release energy from carbohydrates.


B2: helps release energy from protein and fat.


B6: promotes the metabolism of protein.


B12: an essential vitamin in the formation of nerve fibers and blood cells.





Minerals


Iron: essential in the creation of red blood cells.


Zinc: good for enzyme stability and essential in sexual maturation.


Calcium: most important mineral in the strengthening of bones and teeth.


Iodine: controls thyroid hormones.


Selenium: like vitamin E, it protects cells from oxidation





What do I get by eating just egg whites and what do I lose by not eating the yolk?





Thanks!

Egg whites have more protein, fewer in calories.


Egg yolks are high in fat but have a lot of omega 3, which is good for your brain.


So the only thing you loose by not eating the yolk is a few calories and extra fat.


I say, eat the whole egg...everything in moderation.
