Contrary to the mythical belief...sodium and cholesterol are not good. Not all protein is healthy. Just google it
Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or it may be totally innocent.0 -

Yes, I agree Egg whites are better for you.
Depends on the rest of your dietary intake. They are no better or worse than the yokes.0 -
so you want to genetically modify your egg to be not what it is because....it has fat? Why is fat bad?0

This thread needs some mercola links and then I'll have BINGO.0

Just wondering if anyone knew of egg brands that aren't so fatty...I have Egg Land's Best but there's just so much fat in them when you start to have more than one
is this a trick question? Isnt an egg an egg an egg?0 -

This, too.
My cholesterol is genetically high. There isn't much I can do about it. But my BP is on the low side and my triglycerides are in the healthy range, so my doc isn't worried.

Won't engage in a flame war..in the healthcare industry. Yes, there are good cholesterols and a sufficient amount of sodium is needed for our bodies to function properly..just not from egg yolks. There are other sources for sodium and good cholesterol that are healthy. There really is no need to add salt to anything and there are "different" types of cholesterol...not all are healthy. Just trying to lend an educated helping hand.0 -

According to my MFP log.an egg has 70 mg of sodium.
I ate an egg yesterday -- yolk and all -- and my total sodium was below 1,000 mg.0 -

Good for you both! Genetics plays a huge role as well...but for most in the US... it's very complex and diversified.0 -

All fair enough, and sure you were just being helpful, was just clarifying, as saying sodium and cholesterol are not good is a very generalised statement especially from an educated person. Egg yolks are fine as sources of both if you don't get them from elsewhere and vica versa. Definitely wasnt trying to start an "i know more than you war" cos in most cases i don't!!0 -
Does anyone know where I can get some low protein steaks and non-carb potatoes? fancy steak and chips tonight but nearly at my allocation on both protein and carbs for the day!!
For lower protein steaks, try wagyu. It's almost pure fat when you get to the "higher quality" stuff. It's more expensive and it doesn't taste as good.0 -

While I appreciate that you are in the healthcare industry, it is pretty wide spread knowledge (and supported by more recent research) that eating a whole egg is actually better for you than just egg whites and that yolks are not the cause of high cholesterol so much as a relationship between genetics and the nutritional content of your overall diet. The yolk is in fact the most nutritious part of the egg with the white having very little nutritional value, and if you have an other wise low fat diet there's not logical reason to avoid the egg yolk. Actually, if you have an otherwise fatty diet due eating fried foods and fatty meats it's better to cut those out before cutting out the yolk. There's more recent studies (I wish I could find the links for these studies) that say that eating just the egg white can actually strip nutrients from the human body during digestion that would other wise be derived during the digestive process from the yolk and that strictly eating egg whites may in fact cause another set of issues (I believe however that this is more speculative newer research, and therefore not established as fact).
Anyway, if you're worried about fat, find another place to decrease your fat consumption or just remove the yolks (I generally do a 2 white to whole egg ratio because I add cheese and like to keep the total calorie count in check). Chicken eggs are chicken eggs, they come from chickens and are pretty standard for nutritional value based upon the industry set sizes of small, medium, large, and extra large. IMHO, if you choose to go the route of egg beaters and or other egg white type carton eggs, they are just a waste of money, it's a lot less just to buy a dozen eggs and remove the egg yolks.0 -

OK...I'll stop...you are right about one thing...IMHO...Peace! The OP asked about low fat eggs...I was answering to that query. And, as a researcher...give me a break on the stats??? Have a great day and eat what you want. See you in my office. :laugh: Just a joke...lighten up. I'm done. I wish everyone health and long life!0 -
Seeing as how there are eggs that advertiser better nutrients by feeding their chickens fish or whatever, I suppose it's not crazy to wonder if there are some that are lower in fat somehow. But that's what Egg Beaters are for.0

There is such a place where you can get bacon wrapped filet mignon, zero carb potatoes, and chocolate that doesn't make you fat... it's called Heaven, but you have to die a little to get there. LOL

egg beaters. i've had the regular and the southwestern kind which has peppers in it and has a kick to it. they're good.0

I've replaced eggs completely with Reese's Peanut Butter eggs.
It makes an omelette..tricky, but worth it.
Mmm....I'm thinking of adding chopped M&M's and some sprinkles to that omelette. YUM!0 -
I'll be nice and answer the question:
A good lowfat egg choice is the quail egg. Each 9 gram serving only has 1 gram of fat and zero saturated fat. Compare that to the goose egg, which has a whopping 19 grams of fat!
These eggs are a dieter's dream - you can eat a whole dozen servings for no more than 12 grams of fat! And they are only 14 cals apiece per serving.0 -
I'm sorry so many people are being 'snarky' with their responses.
I'm sure that your question is more about calories than the fat content? If so, if you make an omelet, use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. You can't really tell the difference. In baking you can use 2 egg whites in place of one whole egg. If you want to add protein but not the calories of eggs, eat just the white of a boiled egg. It only has 17 calories and it will keep you full longer. I add them to salads for just that reason alone. I give the yolks to my cat or toss them over the fence and other 'creatures' eat them, I do live out in the country though. lol
I doubt that there is an egg that is lower in fat but you can eat eggs from chickens who are grass fed or fed flax seed. Egglands Best is the only 'brand' that I know of that does just that, so you're good. Buy them from a local chicken farmer and you'll notice the difference in the color of the yolk. It is darker because of the variety of food the chicken ate, rather than just ground corn and who knows what else. They also have Omega oils and they are GOOD for you! I used to raise chickens and in the summer, when I fed them veggies scraps from my garden and they ate all the grass they wanted, the yolks were a dark orange color. Also, at least where I live, hobby chicken farmers are HAPPY to find people to take their eggs.0 -

They are also tiny, so you are going to eat more than one. If you had 5 quail eggs, you'd end up with 5g of fat - the same as a chicken egg. And 14x5 is 70, so the calories are the same too. And you're spending more money to get the quail eggs. So, what's the point?0 -

Just want to say that you won't find a source of fat that doesn't have some saturated fat in it. A quail egg does too. Of the 1 gram of fat .3 is saturated, .4 is monounsaturated and just over .1 for polyunsaturated. Basically saturated fat constitutes about 30% of the fat in a quail egg. Also when comparing weights of both the quail egg has no advantage and by weight the quail egg happens to have more saturated fat, interesting I though.I'll be nice and answer the question:

And for the professional health care people responding, let me just say that cholesterol is just cholesterol, there is no bad or good types. Because cholesterol isn't water soluble dietary cholesterol is transported to the liver where it's then encapsulated into a protein matrix called lipoproteins.........some are HDL and some are LDL. Peace. 0 -

LOL. I believe you just made the point for me. Perhaps the OP would have arrived at the same conclusion?0
