egg yolk
hi there.
i am a male 20 and i do a fair bit of exercise daily to reduce my weight. i dont eat non veg stuff at all except eggs. what i want to ask is that everyday after exercising i have 5 or 6 boiled eggs as a source of protein but people at my gym advised me to throw away the yolk of the boiled egg and eat onlt the white part as according to them yolk has lots fo colestrol and fats and i should avoid it to help reduce my weight. can anybody please tell me if its true becouse i am seriously under the plan to reduce 10 kgs of weight and any help would be welcomed. thanks

They were correct that there there is more cholesterol in the egg yolks and yes more fat. But the yolks also contain more calcium,iron,phosphorus,zinc,cooper,manganese,selenium, thiamin,b6,folate ,b12 ,vitamin A, E, D, and K. You're 20. Cholesterol is something you do want to monitor yes. But the bad cholesterol is proven to serve the role of reducing stress. People always find something new to panic about. Currently, it is cholesterol. About 20 years ago, coming up with fat free foods were the craze. People ate no fats but they didn't get thin. You're pretty much a vegetarian. There just things not found in vegetables that will be found in eggs. You probably should consider that. Weight loss is frustrating. The more protein you have, the more weight you will lose simply because it's 3 times harder to digest than carbs. You are wanting to lose 10kg/22 pounds. That's not that much weight. Losing 10 pounds/5 kg a month isn't too much of a reach. I've found the easiest way to eat right is to plan meals in advance. I essentially gather the items unitl i have my calorie allowance and go "there is monday". Then i do the same for the rest of the week. It is much simpler. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes a week. Then lets say on thursday I don't like what i have there, i simply swap it with an item from friday's menu of similar calorie content. But back to the eggs and foods. Mother's tell their kids "have a little of everything and you will be just fine." That may be the best dietary advice of all. That way you get some of everything. You don't feel as if you miss out and you don't over do any one food and do yourself harm.

yes, theyre right about the yolk. the yolk serves really no nutritional benefits in terms of trying to lose weight and adding muscle. Just eating the egg whites is much healthier for you, because thats where all of the protein is. The yolk is basically wasted calories almost. I just found out about the yolk part a few months ago, and it makes a big difference since eggs are very high in cholesterol especially if you have 5 or 6 after workouts everyday.
