what do you all do with left over egg yokes?

[Nik Antunovich]

Thanks for taking the time to reply Nik, I'm finding this interesting :shifty:

I'm not sure if that is tongue in cheek or not?! But I find any discussion good whether it's between me and someone else or two other monkeys. It's probably why I'm on the forum in the first place.

Ummm, I was serious Nik, I was/am enjoying the discussion, not picking at you, but throwing ideas around. It's probably why I'm on the fourm in the first place etc :doh:

Do you want to have a heart to heart? Thank you for the discussion to!

When dieting i always have 1 yolk to 5 whites usually scramble 10 egg whites and 2 yolks , yolks contain vit d one of the few foods that do and they also contain lecithin and because of this it will inhibit the absorption of the cholestrol that is found in the yolk .

Do you want to have a heart to heart?

Haha. No :roll:

Wasn't boxing anything up to sell it but trying point out that people all too frequently claim something is bad using irrelevant proof. My point that both sides are debatable stands, and that dismissing food as bad based on irrelevant studies is detrimental.

You mean its possible to have an intelligent, reasoned discussion over the internet?

[rose]

No Nicko :shock: Gosh what are you? Insane??!

[Grover]

No Nicko Gosh what are you? Insane??!

It has been suggested a few times so in this forum it is almost gospel!

Sadly I have googled the subject and have not been able to find and relevant studies that will back up this claim!

Whether lipase is in eggs or not is beside the point

I disagree. Many people are quick to presume that eggs contribute to high cholesterol based on research that I personally (and many others) consider irrelevant. Yet few people take the time to extol the virtues of egg yolks.

People all too readily state they don't eat egg yolks because they're bad. I prefer to counter this with reasons why it's good to include egg yolks in a balanced diet, and remind people that studies used to back up claims are not necessarily relevant to the view being presented.

It's not about being right or wrong but showing that both arguments are debatable.

Yes a history of heart disease would make you more wary, of all types of cholesterol and other contributing factors. I feel egg yolks get a bad run here, and in the cholesterol debate in general. Egg yolks contain an array of nutrients that assist cholesterol synthesis, among other functions. More so than other sources of protein and fat. To dismiss this as beside the point is ignorant.

I'm of the opinion that so many people neglect foods (like egg yolks), based on incomplete or irrelevant 'science', thus contributing to a world of unhealthy people who then turn to modern science for 'medication' in order to become 'well'.

If the people at risk of heart disease had in general lived more healthily, then consuming cholesterol likely wouldn't be a concern. The fact they have high cholesterol, and by that I mean low HDL and high triglycerides, the indication there is a problem, probably stems from the fact that they didn't look after their machine and it's paying them back.

Awareness is the key.

I totally agree with you and I should probably look at the glass and say it is half full (like yourself Rose) rather than half empty. Yep, egg yolks are a good food and should be part of a healthy and balanced diet.

On lipase it has shown to be beneficial in reducing artery hardening but it has also been shown to increase it. It is one of those things we know stuff all about. It forms LDL from lesser density lipoproteins rather than breaking it down and that's about all we know for sure. What can be said about lipase is that it seems to almost regulate artery hardening rather than reducing or increasing it.

+1 on that Rose. After all an egg yolk is good enough to make a chicken The whole science around lipids is misguided & has been subject to scrutiny over recent years. Could be said Big Pharma strikes again. After all we need cholesterol in the body to produce testosterone

:wink:

Yep, like all things biological we don't really know shit, same for anthropogenic global warming and Barrack being a revelation. The sky is falling, the sky is falling....

a) they taste good

[cantygirl]

I don't eat them as much due to the calories when im cutting back.

[Nik Antunovich]

Absolutely. They are great but they are also loaded.

[Beef]

how many cals would the average sized egg have?

[hawks]

2 yolks = approx 118 calories not that much really.

[cantygirl]

I agree hawks, unfortunately when your a female, every bloody calorie seems to find its way to my rear, and honestly my b.b. bikini has got the tiniest bum in it, one slip up and it snaps up your bum, most unattractive. :oops:

Every calorie counts when you're a dude and are on a strict diet plan. I'd rather my protein and fats from other sources. Steak especially.

Ahh the good old egg yolk debate (this could go on forever)

During a bulking phase I would set out a yolk to white ratio.

During a cutting phase I would only eat egg whites.

This works for me, may not work for others but it does for me, whilst still maintaining my health. whatever works for you I say.

What I do with the egg yolks? - Give them to the mrs. She mashes it up and uses it as a facial mask. Saves me money in having to buy god dam beauty products. Dont tell her tho

as far as i'm concerned, the benefits of egg yolks outweigh the drawbacks
