Are whole eggs OK?

Whole eggs can be part of a good diet. They provide high-quality protein, fat, choline, and other nutrients. The main dieting issue is that yolks bring calories and fat, so whole eggs are different from egg whites when calorie targets are tight.

In fat-loss phases, mixing whole eggs with egg whites can keep the taste and nutrients while raising protein per calorie. In gain phases, whole eggs can be a convenient calorie and protein source. If you have specific cholesterol or cardiovascular concerns, follow medical guidance rather than using a generic rule.
