Egg Nutrition Iron
Posted in Health and Nutrition on 09/13/2007 10:55 pm by Steven NerenbergEgg Nutrition…?
Eating two eggs a day is known to offset your cholesterol if you don’t work hard to moderate it elsewhere, but I wanted to know what the nutritional value of just the egg whites are? This is a list of what I’ve found eggs to have:
Vitamins
A: good for the skin and growth.
D: strengthens bones by raising calcium absorption.
E: protects cells from oxidation.
B1: helps properly release energy from carbohydrates.
B2: helps release energy from protein and fat.
B6: promotes the metabolism of protein.
B12: an essential vitamin in the formation of nerve fibers and blood cells.
Minerals
Iron: essential in the creation of red blood cells.
Zinc: good for enzyme stability and essential in sexual maturation.
Calcium: most important mineral in the strengthening of bones and teeth.
Iodine: controls thyroid hormones.
Selenium: like vitamin E, it protects cells from oxidation
What do I get by eating just egg whites and what do I lose by not eating the yolk?
Thanks!
Egg whites have more protein, fewer in calories.
Egg yolks are high in fat but have a lot of omega 3, which is good for your brain.
So the only thing you loose by not eating the yolk is a few calories and extra fat.
I say, eat the whole egg…everything in moderation.
