Which is better/healthier for you: egg whites or egg beaters?

>> No.3940788

Egg whites

>> No.3940792

What parts of the egg are used in the egg beaters? All the good stuff is in the yolk.

Whites, beaters are just processed whites with thickeners and color added to them. 2/10 would not eat

>> No.3940799

I will never comprehend why some people don't just eat the whole egg.

Because egg yolks are bad for your heart.

Bullshit. Please explain why you think so, with source.

>Inb4 completely valid reasoning
If you already know why they're bad for you, then why are you arguing against it?

Also, here's that source you wanted. Remember, google is your friend: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-08-17/news/33252380_1_yolks-hollandaise-spence

Cholesterol in your blood in handled by your liver, if you ingest a certain quantity, your liver will produce less. It's irrelevant. And I don't think you know what cholesterol really is.

The funnier part is, so many people believe this.

Most of the excess cholesterol found in the body is actually caused by eating too much sat. fat.

Jesus christ, I thought the whole 'eggs are bad' myth was debunked years ago.

My impression is that people solely eat the egg white because of three reasons:

A. They're misinformed about the cholesterol shit.
B. A large egg white is around 17 calories, a whole egg is 90. You figure it out.
C. FUCK VITAMINS I NEED PROTEIN, OATZ 'N' SQUATZ

As someone who SQUATZ, the few times i have thrown away an egg white it's because i would otherwise go above my daily macros

Glad you pointed this out. n=1200, isn't much people, also not mentioned how long the study lasted. There are much bigger studies (Nurse Health study) that shows almost the opposite for males above 50, not enough cholesterol.

Probably egg whites. But Egg Beaters are tasty and easy. Plus they're enriched with vitamins and minerals to compensate for the lack of yolk.

how is something 99% real?

>> No.3943213

>>3943210
It's probably 99% egg whites, 1% thickeners, spices, colors, etc.

I have to say farm fresh eggs from free range chickens are the best eggs.
