Whole eggs beat whites for body composition. 12-week RCT confirmed (Bagheri et al., J Strength Cond Res 2021). Per 100 g whites: 52 kcal, 10.9 g protein, 0.2 g fat. Whites save calories but sacrifice anabolic advantage.
How should I track Egg white, cooked?
Egg white, cooked is a good source of protein. Eggs are simple to track, but size matters more than you think. A "large" egg can range from 45 to 70 g without the shell, which means calorie content varies by up to 50%. Research shows portion estimation errors reach 50–200% for protein-dense foods (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). For accurate tracking of Egg white, cooked, crack and weigh on a kitchen scale — it takes two seconds. Cooking method matters too: a boiled egg is roughly 70 calories, while fried in 5 g oil it jumps to about 110. Log cooking fat separately.
