4. Whites versus Yolks
When you think about eggs, there is a good chance that you have been told that you should only eat the egg whites. The main reason for this is because the egg whites contain 3 grams of protein for just 15 calories. If you are on a low-calorie diet, eating egg whites is typically going to be recommended. The egg yolks also contain three grams of protein.
This means that there is the same amount of protein in the yolks and the whites. The difference is that egg yolk contains 60 calories. This means that if you do not eat the yolk you are still getting a good amount of protein for very few calories. However, as mentioned, the yolks are packed with many vitamins and nutrients that your body needs, which is why you should go ahead and eat them as well.
