i have been eating 10 egg whites and one yolk for breakfast for along time on my days off. anyway you cook them, they suck. with salsa on top, cheese on top, hot sauce on top.
its getting harder and harder to get them down. but, its a easy breakfast for me. fast to cook, quick protein. easy clean up. but they suck balls.
So if you are putting cheese on them to make them taste better, what's the point of just eating the whites? Cheese is milk fat and egg yokes have fat.
It is true, egg yolks carry the cholesterol, the fat and saturated fat of the egg. However, what is often overlooked are the many nutrients that come with that, such as the fat-soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids and other nutrients. One egg yolk has around 55 calories, 4.5 grams of total fat and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, 210 mg of cholesterol, 8 mg of sodium, and 2.7 grams of protein.
A slice of cheddar cheese has 113 calories, 9 g of total fat, and 6 g of saturated fat, 29 mg of cholesterol, 174 mg of sodium and 7 grams of protein.
If you are concerned about cholesterol, then you may have some reason to avoid egg yokes, or not. Whole eggs are a nearly perfect food, with almost every essential vitamin and mineral our bodies need to function. The real threat to high cholesterol is saturated and trans fats, not dietary cholesterol.
