Egg whites are about 80 percent water.

Eggs are a very nutritious food. The protein they contain is the most ideal natural high-quality protein, containing all the amino acids needed by the human body. In addition, the yolk is also rich in minerals such as iron, phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins. It is especially rich in lecithin, which can promote the dissolution and excretion of cholesterol, has the effect of lowering blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, and preventing the formation of fatty liver. If the cholesterol level in the blood is not very high, eating an egg daily or every other day is beneficial and harmless to the body. On the contrary, if you only eat the egg white, it cannot supplement the body with any nutrients, because 84% of it is water and the protein content is only 11.6%.

Eggs should be cooked more by boiling, steaming, and other methods, and try to eat fewer fried and scrambled eggs.
