Eggs are cheap and easy to cook, and a single egg provides two completely different nutritional combinations: the outer egg white is almost entirely pure protein and water, while the yolk in the center is a concentrated source of fat, fat-soluble vitamins, and various minerals. Because of this significant difference, two common practices emerge\u2014some people eat only the egg white to avoid cholesterol, while others eat only the yolk to "boost brain function."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This article breaks down an egg:U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Database<\/a>The data is compared item by item between egg whites and yolks, explaining what you might miss if you only eat one, how to understand the cholesterol in egg yolks, how much protein you need per day, and four widely circulated but inaccurate claims.

Comparing egg whites and yolks side-by-side easily leads to the impression that "egg yolks are more nutritious"\u2014they are much higher in vitamins, minerals, and choline. But this comparison is actually unfair:Egg white and egg yolk are not the same thing.<\/b>\u3002<\/p>\n
