I had an interesting conversation yesterday. We were talking about food, eggs to be specific, and then he asked me if I ate the egg whites only. No. Never. Here's why you should eat your eggs WITH yolks 👇: 1. Nutrient Powerhouse: Yolks are packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K. Plus, they're loaded with minerals like iron and zinc. Egg whites? They're just chillin' with some protein. 🦸‍♂️ 2. Brain Food: Ever heard of choline? It's crucial for brain health, and guess what? Yolks are swimming in it! 🧠 3. Eye Love: Lutein and zeaxanthin in yolks are like sunglasses for your eyeballs. Protect those peepers! 👀 4. Protein Party: Yeah, whites have protein, but yolks bring some to the table too. Why not double the fun? 💪 5. Flavor Town: Let's be real, egg whites taste like sad, rubbery nothing. Yolks are where the party's at! 😋 So next time you're whipping up an omelet or scrambling some eggs, don't you dare reach for that carton of egg whites! Embrace the whole egg, my friends. Your taste buds (and your body) will thank you! 🙌 Who's with me? Drop a 🍳 in the comments if you're Team Whole Egg! And tell me, what's your favorite way to enjoy eggs?

This post is dedicated to a good friend of mine. He messaged me about his GF eating popcorn rather than eating a banana, because popcorn contains less calories. First off, popcorn has more calories than a banana per 100 grams. Take a look at nutrient values below. So saying that you'd rather eat popcorn than a banana because it has less calories isn't a valid argument. Saying that she wants to eat popcorn because she's craving it and likes the taste of it is a better argument for this matter. Which is totally fine btw. I'm not judging you for eating something you like. Balance is key. Secondly, bananas are a nutrient powerhouse straight from nature. They're rich in essential vitamins and minerals like potassium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. These nutrients support heart health, boost your immune system, and help maintain proper nerve function. On the other hand, processed popcorn, especially the microwaveable kind, often comes with artificial flavors, excess sodium, and unhealthy fats. By choosing a banana, you're opting for real, whole-food nutrition over empty calories. Thirdly, while both snacks contain fiber, the fiber in bananas is naturally occurring and comes with additional health benefits. A medium banana offers about 3.1g of fiber, which includes both soluble and insoluble types. This natural fiber aids digestion, promotes gut health, and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Processed popcorn may have some fiber, but it lacks the synergistic effects of eating a whole fruit. Due to popcorn being processed food, she maybe could feel bloated afterwards. Fourthly, bananas provide a perfect blend of natural sugars and complex carbohydrates. This combination offers sustained energy release, keeping you fueled without the sudden spike and crash often associated with processed snacks. The natural sugars in bananas are also accompanied by nutrients that help your body process them more effectively. Contrast this with the refined carbs in most popcorn, which can lead to rapid blood sugar fluctuations.
