Are egg yolks a junk food?

Question

I mean dose it fatten you up if you have 2 every morning?

if they are vegiterian.

Answer 1

if egg yolks are junk food, then im on the wrong planet

Answer 2

I think I read on the "incredible edible egg" website that you should limit yourself to 4 eggs a day. the cholestrol in eggs are not absorbed as well by the body as cholestrol found in meats.

Answer 3

No....eggs are suppose to be "natural" and good source of protein. It's a good breakfast in the morning if your dieting, maybe one or two boiled eggs with a piece of whole wheat toast.

Answer 4

No, yolks are protein not junk food. However, they are high in cholesterol so you shouldn't eat too many per week.

Answer 5

i dont consider them junkfood, coz eggs and egg yolks got nutritional values. eggs are protein source for some. vegetarians might disagree, but not all. probably vegans would, since they avoid all animal products for food, like eggs, even dairy or honey.. but then,, im no vegan, so.. lol
..it depends on one's definition of what's "junk"

Answer 6

No. They will not make you fat, especially if you are a vegetarian and eat a balanced diet. They are a good source of protein and are loaded with cholesterol, so should be eaten in moderation.

Answer 7

Egg whites are high in protein, but egg yolks are very high in cholesterol. Bad for your heart.

Answer 8

Egg is protein diet and good for health. Everybody should take egg. There is nothing called vegeterian.

Answer 9

I'm not sure but if they taste good probably that's the way everything is.. if it taste good its bad for you

Answer 10

not neccarily, i know they are rich in cholestrol
