Recent nutritionist reports blame saturated fat-intake, and not cholesterol-intake, as the source of high blood cholesterol that can lead to heart disease. Formerly, the recommendation on egg consumption was no more than three a week. Now that the source of high cholesterol has been clarified as saturated fats and not dietary cholesterol, eating eggs is decidedly beneficial to weight loss and heart health.Eggs are an important source of protein, contain 13 essential nutrients, and are full of vitamins A, B, D and E-- the last of which is highly protective against heart disease. One large egg has only 75 calories and less than 5 grams of fat, making them a light and healthy part of a balanced diet.
1. Yes, eggs are a great source of protein! However, what I like to do is mix 3 egg whites to 1 yolk. This procedure, used by many bodybuilders, will keep the protein high while decreasing the cholesterol, and calories.
You can also invest in protein powders which features egg albumin - a 100% complete protein.
Enjoy your eggs, and for more nutrition and supplement information refer to http://www.bodybuildingsupplementsecrets.com/sitemap.xml.
