A Top Nutrient You’re Throwing Away & 5 Reasons Why You Should Eat It
For years we’ve focused on egg whites when the yolk is an essential nutrient source
I made many mistakes during my muscle-building years, as we all have.
Throwing out the yolk of an egg was one of these mistakes.
I believed that the fat in the yolk would increase my caloric intake, diminishing my chances of losing the body fat I needed to look my best for competition day.
If only I knew better back then.
Still, many people throw that precious yellow sunshine in the bin every day, believing it to be bad for their cholesterol levels and contain ‘too much fat’, which surpasses the necessary daily intake.
If you throw away the yolk, you’re also eliminating the many beneficial effects it can have on your health and longevity.
Perhaps egg whites taste a lot better — but keeping the yolk will do much more for you than most nutrients available on the market.
