A Dietitian's Take on Egg Whites
Pure Muscle Fuel: A true staple for athletes, egg whites consist entirely of high-quality protein with almost zero fat and carbohydrates. They kickstart muscle repair incredibly fast after a workout.
Satiety and Weight Control: Even though the calories are extremely low, they physically fill your stomach and keep you full for hours. Making a hearty omelet packed with egg whites is a fantastic way to start your day full of energy without weighing yourself down.
Hidden Sodium: Most people don't realize that egg whites naturally contain a moderate amount of sodium. Keep this in mind when planning your meals if you are following a strict low-sodium diet.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the energy from one large egg white takes nothing more than a brisk 5-minute walk.
