This problem may need to be solved as follows: a boiled egg is peeled off, you only eat egg yolk, I only eat egg white, and a perfect [law of getting along with couples]. Of course, first of all, you need another person to do it.
Although eggs are so common and inconspicuous, there are really many problems. Everyone is wrong.
Is the egg yolk full of fat?
Many people have this misunderstanding, especially many friends who are keen on fitness, who strictly follow the low-fat and high-protein diet of one day [only eat one egg yolk and more than 10 whites]. But in fact…
In fact, egg yolk also contains protein, and it is higher than protein!
Because the protein has more water and the yolk is dry, the protein contains about 11.0% of the protein, while the yolk contains 17.5%. A large egg of ordinary size:
- If you only eat the protein part of one egg, you can eat 3.8 g of protein. If you only eat the yolk of one egg, you can eat 2.5 grams of protein.
Moreover, the amino acid composition in protein and egg yolk is almost perfect and can be easily used by human body.
Egg yolk is high in fat and cholesterol and cannot be eaten?
White contains almost no fat. Almost 98% of the fat in an egg is concentrated in the yolk. The yolk of an egg contains about 5g of fat.
However, the nutritional advantages of egg yolk are therefore much higher than those of protein.
-
Egg yolk contains good minerals such as phosphorus, calcium and iron.
-
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and most B vitamins are mainly in egg yolk.
-
Lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial to vision, lecithin and betaine, which are beneficial to preventing chronic diseases, are also found in egg yolk.
Cholesterol goes with fat. An egg contains about 200 milligrams of cholesterol (of course, all in the yolk).
Cholesterol sounds terrible, but it is also a nutrition needed by the human body. In the past, it was often said that [cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 milligrams a day] because of the consideration of controlling blood cholesterol.
At present, the nutrition circles at home and abroad all agree that the cholesterol eaten into the body has little effect on the blood cholesterol level, and cholesterol is no longer restricted.
Therefore, although egg yolk is not as soft and tender as protein and tastes delicate, it is really not cost-effective to eat only protein but not egg yolk.
Whole eggs are the best nutrients, but these people should be careful.
