The Incredible Edible Egg

To the average athlete, one food stands alone. The egg should truly be an athletes best friend. Eggs are the best natural source of protein that can be found. Also, they are very nutrient dense and energy dense with lots of vitamins, protein and fats. One egg contains over six grams of protein and several important nutrients, which is good. Eggs are very essential for us to eat, but this is often over shadowed by the fact that eggs are often thought of as too high in cholesterol. Unfortunately, on the other hand, one egg also contains about 212 mg of cholesterol. This bad rap that eggs get truly causes many people to stay away from them. The cholesterol is an easy to take care of. Just don't eat the yoke. All the cholesterol of an egg is located in the yoke, all the white part is protein. So I recommend, if you feel like your aren’t getting enough protein, or you just want to eat healthier foods the egg would truly be a good choice.
