Boiled Eggs

Member
I get in a 6 egg white omlette every morning. But I"m trying to get in some egg whites before bed. Its a hassle to scramble some up so I boiled a bunch and eat the whites. I know ingesting raw egg whites isn't good as you don't get the full protein content in addition to other things. Is boiling the egg just like scrambling it? Its cooked so it should contain the full content of protein, etc.....

Just want to make sure....

Also, any thoughts on a egg white to yolk ratio?

I'm cutting out yolks because i feel like i get a little bloat when i eat them.

Try egg whites by muscle egg.com you can drink their egg whites and flavored. About to put in another order today.
 
When you say you get bloat from eating the whole egg, are you sure its the egg and not something you're eating with it?

Eating the whole egg is way better for you than eating just the whites since the yolk is where all the nutrition is.
 
Thanks.
No I'm just eating the egg when boiled. When i scramble eggs its usually just the whites.

When you say the nutrition is all in the yolks it brings me back to my two prong question above.

I've heard people say a good ratio is something like five egg whites to one yolk as you don't want to eat many yolks.

I don't particularly like including them but what are your thoughts on this

Dont eat a lot of the yolks because they are bad on the cholesterol.

Have you not read about this since the 90's lol

Dietary cholesterol does not directly effect our cholesterol, in fact whole eggs seem to be beneficial.

Nope its been a while haha. Will research how foods don't effect our cholesterol.

I'm not sure why anyone would recommend a "ratio" of any kind for whites to yolks. Makes no sense to me.

People still believe that extremely outdated misconception that the yolks are for some reason "bad for you" due to the cholesterol and fat, but that is so far from the truth.

Dietary cholesterol is beneficial for us to consume, as is fat from the right sources. Eggs are an awesome source of healthy fats and cholesterol, not to mention vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients like choline that you can't get in many other places.

All of those nutrients are found in the yolks, not the whites. The whites are just protein and that's about it.

Plus, the yolk is conveniently where all the flavor is.

Eating just the whites is such a waste of food and nutrition.

What is this, the 80s? That statement has no validity.

Here are a handful of studies I suggest anyone should read that still think egg yolks are bad for you or that dietary cholesterol is bad for you:

There is no set ratio. The ratio depends on how much fat intake you want in that meal or have left in the day if it is your last meal.

This

Like others have said the ratio is determined by your goals and macro ratios.
 
Agreed. It depends on moderation.
I'm concerned that I'm eating too many tho...
I'm eating about 4-6 for breakfast. 2-3 of those are whole eggs.
Later i may have a few and one yolk. Then at night maybe 4 eggs (1-2) yolks. This isn't everyday but I'd say the average is about 6 a day with about 3 yolks (the rest are all whites). When i started i ate less yolks but are now eating more due to the taste. Too much?

No, you're fine. Eggs are no different than any other food. As long as you're balancing everything out, you have nothing to worry about.

Thank you brother. Just had full labs done so if anything I'll see a change.

Besides that just chicken breast with some carbs really. Occasional snack here and there. Usually fruit or granola.
 
I've been cutting calories like crazy. Only eating boiled eggs, mostly whites, granola bars, and one large meal of chicken breast with sweet potatoes or whole grain soft tortillas. I've been having around 3-5 yolks per day. Mostly because there the most filing...probably been eating eggs like crazy and changed diet up a month and a half ago. Had labs done a few weeks back. Cholesterol perfect, kidney function fine...labs good
