Health-conscious people are often too chicken to eat egg yolks (the yellow part) because they're loaded with calories, cholesterol and fat. A single yolk clucks in at 55 calories, 210 mg of cholesterol (a lot, considering you're only supposed to eat 300 mg per day) and 4.5 g of fat (although about two-thirds of the fat comes from healthy unsaturated fats). In comparison, an egg white has only 17 calories, 0 mg of cholesterol and 0 g of fat. Don't put all your egg yolks in the wastebasket, though — they contain plenty of healthy stuff, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The rule of thumb is to eat one egg yolk per day and the rest egg whites (for example, an omelet with one whole egg and two egg whites).
