Sport Egg Whites vs Egg yolks?

Sport Fitness
Eating 3egg whites for every 1 egg yolk is good. Egg yolks contain the fat in an egg. Egg whites are used for a really good source of protein.
 
i eat the whole egg, 5 a day.

whole eggs are good despite what many have been mislead to believe. just dont go crazy with them ;)
 
You can buy egg whites, but you pay more per white than if you just separate them.

I either toss my yolks down the drain, or I cook em up and give em to my two dogs.
 
Egg yolk has a high concentration of biotin.

If you only consume egg white, you can develop a biotin deficiency. This is not a concern for many people as there are many sources of biotin.

For women, biotin deficiency is a common concern in pregnancy. Consuming egg white only would make it worse.

From what I understand the protein in egg whites is superb but the egg yolks have the rest of the nutrition and fat.
 
whites if you are training for mucles, good protein for repair. but don't leave out the yolks, have a ratio of may 1yolk: 3whites
 
Hmmmm, I wouldn't be worried about 5g of fat. Well, I normally take two eggs at a time. That makes it 10g. Still...

plus, out of those 5 grams only 2 are saturated. plus as someone mentioned, the nutrition (vitamins, minerals) are in the yolk

researchers are now going back and analyzing all the egg data and finding out the real truth. one study ended on this note

These findings do not suggest that one should go back to the traditional high cholesterol Western diet. Instead, they suggest that among healthy men and women, moderate egg consumption can be part of a nutritious and balanced diet. Because eggs are excellent and relatively inexpensive sources of essential amino acids and certain vitamins, they can substitute for other animal products such as red meat. These results also illustrate the danger of judging health effects of a food by single nutrients or components contained in the food.

so if someone increases their whole egg consumption, BE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT IT! personally i talked it over with my doctor, who has some expertise in sports nutrition. my blood work was good, i have no family history of concern and with my diet and lifestyle i got the ok to make an increase. :)
 
The entire egg is healthy. My question would be - Why are you asking, are you looking for protein source? Are you concerned about cholesterol? I personally egg plain egg white from a carton i buy at the local grocer. For me, I just like to eat eggs for breakfast, but can afford the cholesterol. I get my protein from whey shakes and meat.
 
I meant to say "..I personally 'eat' plain egg white..." and I 'cannot' afford the cholesterol..

i guess I should preview my posts before I read :)
