Drop The Yolk

Don’t eat the egg yolk.

I’m not sure which came first: my love for poached eggs on avocado toast or the science supporting the health benefits of whole eggs, yolks included. Either way, I’m on board with the advice to eat whole eggs since yolk contains much of eggs’ nutrients, and can make meals more satisfying.

There is one exception, though: I still recommend egg whites in omelets (or reducing the amount of yolk you use), especially if you like to add cheese. For the average person, three whole eggs plus cheese adds up to more calories than likely needed.
