Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Another thing about eggs, the majority of the protein is > in the yolk-so eating egg whites is a nice alternative for once in a while, but the real health benefit of an egg is in the yolk... ++++++++++++++++++ I did not know that! Thanks for the info Kat!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 The cholesterol and fat is in the yolk, that's why we only eat the whites of the eggs. Actually, I eat one whole egg to 4 egg whites. I'm not a great lover of the egg (due to taste), so I eat them very seldom myself. But egg whites are a great source of protein. Cheryl C.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 See " Egging You On " http://www.connect.ab.ca/~giegabyte/health/egg.html Also, the following quote from another article: " Eat a diet rich in vegetables with an adequate supply of both protein and " healthy " fats. . . . Forget low fat! It's a little known fact that testosterone--and all other male hormones--are actually made from cholesterol. When fats become deficient in the diet, testosterone levels decline. . . . Eat one to two hardboiled eggs daily. Not only are small amounts of dietary cholesterol important for the formation of testosterone, eggs provide essential fatty acids necessary for optimal hormonal regulation.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 >eggs daily. Not only are small amounts of dietary cholesterol >important for the formation of testosterone Good enough reason for me to stay away from them. LOL A hairy chest is the last thing I need, and I'm sure my husband wouldn't be pleased if I suddenly sprouted an extra appendage.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2001 Report Share Posted February 9, 2001 I'm no biochemist, but I believe both men and women need testosterone for muscle-building. I hardly think you'd need to worry about a hairy chest or an extra appendage. :-) Andy > >eggs daily.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Egg whies have 3 g. protein each, which is why most people eat 6-8 at a time. Jen B. > OK, if a whole egg has 6 grams of protein.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 I would imagine depending on the grade of the egg (small, AA large, etc.) it will vary a little. Cheryl C. -------------------------------------------------------------------- >I got my info off the USDA nutrient website which lists egg whites as 3.5g protein, but I always round down rather than up. I guess it's such a small difference that either count would work. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2001 Report Share Posted March 8, 2001 Hi Cheryl, thanks for the link! I got my info off the USDA nutrient website which lists egg whites as 3.5g protein, but I always round down rather than up. I guess it's such a small difference that either count would work. Anyway, thanks again for the link, I have it bookmarked for quick reference.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Depends on size, but about 3 to 3.5 grams per large egg white. > How much protein is in one egg, without the yolk? > Sonja in Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does anyone know a source for free-range eggs? The kind with truly orange and yummy yolks? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 The True Cost Farm in Monterose has very good pastured eggs, I think they are organic but not certified, soy free and tasty.

We have been purchasing them from a farm in a different state but would love to find some local. They taste and look so much better than any we have found here - love those orange yolks Thanks!
