I eat with yolk. Its a all natural essential fat.My day starts with 6-8 whole eggs and 8 oz of half and half before I lift I have 3 whit 6 oz half and half
then after its 6 eggs with 8 oz half and half. Thats over 5 dozen a week and have never felt better and actually am losing body fat too. Got that from Vince
Gironda have been on it for 4 months have 2 left and will drop back to just before and after workiut.

I typically do half & half (e.g. 2 whites, 2 whole). That's strictly because of the calories. Egg yolks also contain vitamin K which is has many benefits itself. And of course Omega-3's.

The best types of eggs to eat are from cage-free, grain fed hens. It's not that I'm an animal activist. It's that they will have more Omega-3's and more Vitamin K. Take a look at a brown, cage-free egg compared to a normal store brand egg. The yolk is much darker.

That, my friend, is a load of crap. An egg is an egg no matter how they keep the hen, any difference is microscopic. If a certain egg has omega 3 it's because the hen has been given it as a supplement, and the amount you get is extremely low, you still need you pill or fish. The color of the egg is determined by the color of the hen and there is absolutely no difference in the nutritions between a white and a brown egg. The color of the yolk depends only on what the hen's been eating. More pepper in the food gives a darker/more yellow yolk.

And yes, I work in the poultry industry...

They aren't all equal if the nutritional values are different. I know the values in the egg depend on diet as does the color of the yolk. Cage-free hens have the opportunity to eat more vegetation than those in cages. That does have effect on the yolk color. You're right on the egg shell color. The ones that are easily available to me just happen to be brown.

There is no RDA on fatty acids. They haven't established an amount that is proven to be beneficial. So you technically don't need anything. That said, each of the cage-free, organic, brown eggs I eat have 200mg of Omega-3's. Compare that to the average of 50mg on regular eggs. There's also Eggland's Best which have 115mg Omega-3 (white, caged). Personally, I still take fish oil each day which gives me ~1400mg by itself. I don't eat fish very often.

Like I said before, I'm not an animal activist. Truthfully they're tasty either way (chicken and the eggs). But if you're going to eat them, why not get the most nutrition you can?

White eggs are so good for health, we should eat minimum 2 white eggs in our breakfast.

Just a note of caution; there is no dietary requirement for Vitamin K at all. It is made by the bacteria in your gut and they make 100% of your RDA. It is therefore totally unnecessary in the diet.

For those that don't know, Vitamin K is involved in blood-clotting. There is no known deficiency disease in humans* because the gut microflora provides all that you need all of the time.

Okay, my need for technical accuracy provokes me to provide a coda; yes there has been deficiency disease seen in humans in the early days of antibiotics (when they were given for everything from a common cold to a grazed knee!!!) because broad spectrum antibiotics taken orally will kill all the bacteria in the gut and therefore lead to a vitamin K deficiency.

This is no longer likely to happen.

For body builders egg is a basic diet, i think they don't bother about yolk. The exercise we do consume all things and extract important nutrition from diet. we should eat eggs according to instructor advice especially in summer.
