hard boiled eggs

bombx Posts: 69 Joined: 2001/02/12	2001/04/06, 03:13 PM Great for proteins but I see a egg contains ALOT of cholesterol (about 250 mg per eggs) , now how much is actually containned in the white ? Just cant seem to find this information in any books , library , name it... Dan
skeld2001 Posts: 271 Joined: 2001/02/10	2001/04/07, 01:38 AM There are 213mg of cholesterol in a whole egg. The egg white however has exactly 0mg of cholestrol. One egg has 75 cal. with 17cals coming from the white and 59cals from the yolk. The protein breakdown is 6.25g in a whole egg with 3.52g in the yolk and 2.78 in the white. But don't throw away all your yolks just yet, they are loaded with a tresure chest of nutrients that make them valuable too. For more on eggs go to http://www.enc-online.org/ Geez! I gotta get a life!

The white contains the materials to help feed and cushion the yolk or fetus. Sort of like a seed with its endosperm and seed kernel. More protein in the yolk naturally and contains cholesterol as it is needed for protein synthesis. I agree with skeld, I NEED TO GET A LIFE.

At the risk of eggsagerating the worth of eggs I think they are about the best protein value in eggsistance today. Thanks. Now I don't feel like such an egghead. Sorry, I couldn't resist!!

skeld2001 Posts: 271 Joined: 2001/02/10	2001/04/09, 12:22 AM No problem! And yes I'm basically a bored individual. I just did a quick search online and found the site I listed above. Gee, I wish I'd had the internet when I was a kid.
