In fact, fitness athletes don't eat egg yolk because the fat of egg yolk is too high, and the fat of eggs is all concentrated on egg yolk. What bodybuilders need in training is protein and fat, and fat is the enemy of bodybuilders. In order to destroy the enemy, bodybuilders should not consume too much fat every day to improve the overall training effect, which has a great influence on bodybuilders to gain more muscles and reduce fat.

Generally speaking, the fat content of whole eggs is above 30%, mainly in yolk, and the fat in protein is less than 1%. The protein content of all eggs is about 12g, mainly egg white, so people who exercise choose to eat only egg white instead of egg yolk, because the fat content of two egg yolks is necessary for fitness, but eating egg yolk will increase the difficulty of fitness training, lead to body fat rate and fat reduction training, and further increase the training volume, which will not only increase the overall training volume, but also increase the training time cost.

Relatively speaking, the fat content of egg yolk is much higher than that of egg white, but in fact, this fat is not a high-fat food. Pursuing a zero-fat diet is not necessarily beneficial. In addition, you also need a moderate amount of fat, such as transmitting body information, storing extra calories, and replenishing energy in an emergency. Fitness athletes' dietary requirements are extremely extreme, and the ratio of muscle to fat is strictly controlled, so for ordinary fitness enthusiasts, there is no need to worry about eating egg yolk to absorb fat.

To sum up, when eating eggs, only eat egg white, not egg yolk, because athletes themselves are worried about the high fat content of egg yolk, so they don't eat egg yolk, and they are more worried that eating too much egg yolk will increase the difficulty of training. But for ordinary bodybuilders, you don't have to worry about this problem at all, you can eat egg yolk normally, and egg yolk has many benefits to your body.
