Egg whites vs. Whole eggs

Came across a great article today on why you should consider eating whole eggs (Omega 3 - egglands best preferred) instead of just your egg whites.  Which brings me to another topic...fat is NOT the enemy people.  Everyone is so worried about the fat on their body that they translate it into no fat in foods.  Now I'm not saying we go out there and eat crazy high fat foods, but the goal is to stay away from saturated fats (ie. your grease and processed foods) but it's okay to have SOME of the unsaturated foods (almonds, goat cheese, avocados, EGGS).  I always emphasize "some" because most things are all okay in moderation, but too much of anything can make you stop seeing results and start regretting the decision. 

Today we know that fat is not the enemy, especially healthy fats like monounsaturated fats and essential omega-3 fats. Although egg yolks have some saturated fats, it makes up less than half of the total fat. Plus the type of saturated fat in egg yolks does not get stored readily as body fat. Not to mention, you can buy eggs that have higher amounts of omega-3 fats, which can actually aid fat burning, as well as boost muscle and joint recovery. --Muscle Fitness Hers (whole story)

A thing to keep in mind - Omega 3's are shown to enhance fat burning, in addition to their helpfulness to the joints that they protect!  This week I'm going to talk about DIET and the benefits of keeping protein high and still taking in fats =)
