Low Calorie Recipes Five Low Calorie Egg White Recipes for Dieters Egg White Omelets to Egg White Cookies Mister Egg Yolk has many healthy benefits. Only half of the yolk contains saturated fat. Another plus - it's rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, both important nutrients for healthy eyes. But when it comes to calories, egg whites contain less than 20 calories per egg while the yolk calories more than triple that number. Even so - calories in eggs of all sizes are very low and that's just one reason why eggs top the list of foods that dieters choose when dropping pounds. Because the egg white is so low in calories, using recipes in which the egg white is the star will almost always equal a very low calorie recipe. As a foodnote, controversy still exists on the 'healthy' number of eggs per day in the diet - with the official healthy recommendation currently set at one per day. So although the egg yolk is a healthy source for lutein and zeaxanthin, for certain individuals - such as those with heart disease, the yolk may not be the healthiest option. In turn, egg whites are a healthy alternative. Egg white are also sold in tiny cartons in the dairy section at your local market should you choose not to use time to separate the egg from the yolk. On that note, we hope that you enjoy the following five egg white recipes from the Diet Bites Kitchen.
