I am pulling info out of this site above..
"I found out that egg whites actually make up for two-thirds of the egg’s weight, which consists of proteins, vitamins, trace minerals, fatty material, and glucose. Looking back at the familiar yellow, all that the yolk contains are massive amounts of cholesterol, fat, and about half the protein as in the rest of the egg."
"Let’s quickly break it all down:
Egg Yolks:
- Calories: 55 cals
- Fat: 4.5 g
- Saturated Fat: 1.6g
- Cholesterol: 210 mg
- Protein: 2.7g
Egg Whites:
- Calories: 17 cals
- Fat: 0.1 g
- Saturated Fat: 0.0 g
- Cholesterol: 0.0 mg
- Protein: 5 g
ANd the info below states:
| Egg White | Egg Yolk | |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 17 | 59 |
| Fat (g) | .06 | 4.51 |
| Saturated Fat (g) | 0 | 1.6 |
| Carbs (g) | .24 | .61 |
| Protein (g) | 3.6 | 2.7 |
| Cholesterol (mg) | 0 | 210 |
| Sodium (mg) | 55 | 8 |
| Calcium (mg) | 2.3 | 21.9 |
| Vitamin D (IU) | 0 | 18 |
| Folate (mcg) | 1.3 | 24.8 |
The blogs give you both sides of it..like many blogs out there..but I like having the clear cut of the nutrition facts in comparison.
