Lose the Yolks

Try removing the yolks (yellow) from the white when you-re eating eggs. The yolk is extremely high in cholesterol, containing more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300 mg! Egg whites are very low in calories, have no fat, no cholesterol, and are loaded with muscle building protein. One egg white contains only 17 calories compared to a whopping 59 calories for one egg yolk! There are a few easy ways to cut out the egg yolks. The first is to boil your eggs and simply remove the yellow half inside the egg. If you’re making an omelet, crack the egg over a bowl and slowly pour the egg yolk back and forth between the egg shells. The egg white will pour down into the bowl while leaving the egg yolk (yellow) in the shells. There are also some great egg products on the market that aid in reducing unhealthy cholesterol levels and are very convenient. Egg Beaters is a wonderful egg substitute product to use. Egg Beaters are made from real eggs, but only the whites. The best part is you don’t have to separate the white from the yolk!
