As a "fitblr" I often see people talking about egg whites and how great they are and how bad egg yolks are. NO. It breaks my heart to think of all the nutrients of the egg yolk being discarded into eggy heaven.
 
Egg yolks are good!
Nutrients in a yolk:
Egg yolks are jam packed with fat soluble nutrients, these included: Vitamins A, D, E, K and carotenoids. These help you boost your immune system, keep your bones, teeth, and skin healthy, reduce the effects of diabetes, and help you reduce the risk of cancer.
 
Also:
Yolks have loads of Zinc, Calcium, Folate and vitamin B12. All of which are super important for you.
 
But, but, but eggs are full of cholesterol!
Yes, but you need this cholesterol! Cholesterol is needed in the body as it is the building block of hormones. Cholesterol also helps repair damaged cells in the body. Cholesterol that comes from processed, super fatty food is bad for you, so don't go out and eat tons of fried food. When it comes from this incredible egg it is not!
 
Additionally:
Eating only egg whites can cause a biotin deficiency, biotin is the vitamin that gives us strong nails and beautiful hair!
 
In conclusion:
EAT THE WHOLE EGG. It is only 70 calories for one XL egg. It is amazing for you. Tastes great. Now I am not saying go make yourself 20 eggs to make up for your lack of yolky days, but do not be afraid to incorporate it into your diet.
