    In fact, egg whites and egg yolks have their own advantages, but the nutrients are very different. In addition to 90% of the water in egg whites, the remaining 10% is mainly protein. Don't underestimate the 10% protein, the protein in the egg is mainly included. Professor Lin Xinying from the Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene at Shandong University also pointed out that the egg protein is second only to breast milk, and the utilization rate in the human body is very high. It is one of the highest quality proteins in food. It is recommended that people with low immunity, especially those who have just completed surgery, may eat more egg whites to supplement protein.
