Whats in a Yolk?

You heard that right, what exactly am I tossing out when making egg whites in the mornin? You hear it from the bodybuilding sites, toss it, but really do you know what your tossing?

1 Egg yolk is only 55 calories and around 4 grams of fat with about 3g of protein. Not only is it not that bad for you the amount of nutrition and and vitamins in it is pretty amazing.

1 Yolk has the following in it:

The next time you decide to throw out another Yolk--think about it, leave 1-2 to in while your stirring up those delicious egg whites. Nature really does cover your needed daily needs without having to add processed ones.
