Is egg yolk bad for health?

Cholesterol Myth.

Eggs contain plenty of dietary cholesterol. But that’s not enough to raise cholesterol levels. Some studies indicate they do to a certain degree, but this is no longer thought to be a problem for healthy, active, non-obese, non-diabetic populations. Some research even suggests that genetics is a bigger determinant in cholesterol levels compared to dietary intake.

In fact, cholesterol is important for the fitness enthusiast looking to improve his or her performance and physique. Why? Because cholesterol is the transporter for testosterone, which as we all know, has a massive impact on supporting and increasing gains.

By throwing out the yolk, you’re losing out on numerous valuable nutrients like vitamin A, D, K, E, Thiamin, Zink, Choline and most important Lucien (extremely important for muscle building).

Egg yolk in fat loss-

To be clear, the deciding factor in your weight-loss journey is whether or not you’re eating a variety of nutritious foods while in a caloric deficit. Consuming more fat has been shown to help keep dieters feeling full longer than a diet low in fat, while also optimizing their hormonal profile.

So don’t cut yolks out because of their fat. As for their extra calories, if you’re total calorie intake doesn’t allow it you can always go for a half-half mixture of egg whites and whole eggs.

Takeaway :-

If your macros allow it then you should definitely add in your diet.
