Discarding the yolk?
We all are aware that eggs are a rich source of protein and are good for people conscious of their diet and fitness. Many of us are guilty of discarding the yolk because we believe eating them will beat the health aspect of eating eggs.
Here is what you should know
One egg has almost 6 grams of protein and if you discard the yellow, you get only about 4 grams of protein per egg.
How much protein you need?
Protein is essential for losing weight as well as for building muscles. Experts suggest that you should have between 60-90 grams of protein (depending on your body weight) through the day.
Variety is key
And if eggs are your main source of protein, you will have to accordingly include as many eggs in your diet - now if you just eat the white, you will have to increase the number even more. Try including black beans, kidney beans and cheese to have a variety of proteins.
