When i make a hardboiled egg...i cant stand the yellow part in the center but i love the white! I have heard that hardboiled eggs are good for you but im only eating the white...is that good? am i throwing away the most nutritious part? the yellow?
Answer:
Actually, the yolk, or yellow part is the bad part of the egg, it is mostly fat. The white is pure protien and low in calories, so go for it, eat the white and toss the yolk.
actually the white is the most healthy part of an egg. the yolk is where all of the fat and cholestorol are found. so you're doing the right thing w/o even knowing it.
The yellow part is the part that is good for you. Try mixing it with things, like mayonaise or mustard or even sugar substitue. The hard boiled egg, when you eat all of it is one of two foods that it takes more calories to eat than it has in it... the other is grapefruit. While the yellow does have cholesterol and the fat part of the egg, it also has the protein and it is a good fat, not a bad one. The cholesterol is now believed to be much lower than it was in the 70's and 80's. It also is very important that you have some cholesterol in your diet, just not too much.
To answer your first question: Hard-boiled eggs are VERY healthy. They're a great source of protein and "healthy" fat.Now for your second question: If you eat only the white you are missing out on some of the protein and "healthy" fat, but the yellow is not the most nutritious part of the egg. So no harm no foul if you just eat the white. However, don't believe what you hear about cholesterol. They say eating egg yolks raises your cholesterol because all the cholesterol is in the egg yolk. Not true. Eating foods high in cholesterol does not raise your cholesterol. Eating foods that are high in trans fat or saturated fat will raise your cholesterol levels, and eggs don't have either of those. In fact, the "healthy" fat in eggs actually helps lower your "bad" cholesterol while raising your "good" cholesterol.
Why not try half boiled? It is more palatable including the yellow.Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
Sure the white part is good for you and you are correct that much of the egg's nutrition is being wasted when you throw it away. Perhaps some cat or dog would benefit from your egg eating exercises.
