Chicken eggs are one of the most popular products.

Many people wonder which part of the egg is more useful: the white or the yolk.

It's time to settle this issue once and for all.

What is healthier: egg white or yolk?

The yolk of an egg contains a huge number of benefits. It contains:

  • vitamins A and D;
  • choline, which helps promote liver health;
  • oleic acid, which is involved in metabolism.

But there is no need to worry that egg yolk increases cholesterol, since this factor depends more on the functioning of the liver.

As for egg white, it contains B vitamins. It is also a real find for those who want to lose weight, because there are only 48 kcal per 100 grams of the product.

So, if you want to get the most out of an egg, it's best not to separate it into its components.

Even in the case of gaining muscle mass, the advantage will be on the side of the whole egg. It has been proven that when eating individual proteins and whole eggs, muscle mass grew faster in the second case.
