We’ve got to shake the notion that fat free is the way to go… I can’t tell you how many egg white omelets I’ve eaten in my life, depriving myself of tons of nutrients.  This reblog is dedicated to dreaamlive who asked me if she should be eating yolks - this is one of the best answers I could find.  #crossfitcandy

Egg yolks are good! 

Nutrients in a yolk: Egg yolks are jam packed with fat soluble nutrients these include: Vitamins A, D, E, K and carotenoids. These help you boost your immune system, keep your bones, teeth, and skin healthy, reduce the effects of diabetes, and help you reduce the risk of cancer. 

Also: Yolks have loads of Zinc, Calcium, Folate and vitamin B12. All of which are super important for you. 

But, but, but eggs are full of cholesterol! Cholesterol is needed in the body as it is the building block of hormones, also cholesterol helps repair damaged cells in the body. Cholesterol that comes from processed, super fatty food is bad for you, so don’t go out and eat tons of fried food. When it comes from this incredible egg it is not! 

Additionally: Eating only egg whites can cause a biotin deficiency, biotin is the vitamin that gives us strong nails and beautiful hair! 

In conclusion: EAT THE WHOLE EGG. It is only 70 calories for one XL egg. It is amazing for you. Tastes great. Now I am not saying go make yourself 20 eggs to make up for your lack of yolky days, but do not be afraid to incorporate into your diet. 

I may have reblogged this before, but I’ll happily do it again. I always eat the whole egg unless I’ve already had two or three. If I feel like eating eggs again (especially when everything has gluten in the cafeteria) I get egg whites. That’s the only time I’ll ever get them, though. Whole eggs for the win!

Oh, and to add to the whole cholesterol argument. Cholesterol is a key component of cell membranes because it helps to keep them fluid even at low temperatures. Trust me. You don’t want your membranes to be rigid. So don’t worry about the cholesterol in eggs. You’ll be fine.

Well, I slept through breakfast even though Drew tried to wake me up for two hours. So this is my dorm room style breakfast. A whole wheat wrap with natural crunchy peanut butter and pink grapefruit marmalade, hard boiled eggs with sriracha, red grapefruit chunks, and mango juice. (That mango juice is hella sweet, haha.)

Sultan, broccoli, and yellow bell pepper stir-fry. Doesn’t look like much, but I’m satisfied after eating it. Not full. Full means it was too much. At any rate, I’ll probably eat something else after my night class. #food #fit #healthy #nutrition #college #cafeteria #sultan #protein #broccoli #green #yellow #veggies #pepper #asian #satisfied

Chicken, swiss, peppers, and hot sauce on a wheat wrap. I also had some pineapple and a bit of chocolate milk diluted with skim. #lunch #food #meal #yum #yummy #protein #chicken #cheese #swiss #wrap #spicy #hotsauce #cherry #peppers #plate

Lunch. Small spinach salad with salmon chunks, black beans, tofu, and sambal oelek chili paste. The wrap contains Swiss cheese, turkey, and sriracha chili sauce. #spinach #salad #greens #veggies #salmon #fish #black #beans #tofu #protein #sambaloelek #swiss #cheese #turkey #sriracha #wrap #fit #healthy #meal #food

Amy’s black bean vegetable enchiladas. It’s organic and vegan, so no GMOs! A great choice for only having a microwave and fridge for two weeks, right? #organic #vegan #vegetarian #food #gmofree #enchilada #mexican #beans #protein #yum #fit #healthy

Snack. I only had time to eat a bagel thin this morning. #breakfast #snack #luna #bar #mint #chocolate #food #yum #protein #delicious #fit #healthy
