I'm trying to figure out if eating egg yolks is bad for my health. I've always heard there are differences between egg whites and yolks in terms of nutrition, so I'm wondering if having two whole eggs a day is okay. Can you shed some light on the pros and cons of both parts of the egg?

Egg white contains no cholesterol while the egg yolk contains 210 mg. An egg white has 0.24 grams of carbohydrates, where as an egg yolk has 0.61 grams of carbohydrates. The yolk contains 100% of the carotenoids, essential fatty acids like omega-3 fatty acid DHA and omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acids.Protein helps your body build strong muscles and maintain muscle mass as you age. Heart-healthy. While egg yolks are fine in moderation, if you are already at risk for heart disease or stroke, your doctor may recommend a heart-healthy diet. With no cholesterol, egg whites are a great addition.

I'm struggling with gaining weight after completing my latent TB treatment. My height is 5.8 feet, but I only weigh 47 kg. What kind of food or diet should I focus on to help me put on some healthy weight?

In order to gain weight through muscle mass and not fat, you should eat lean meats, such as skinned chicken, preferably steamed or boiled. Include some dairy fats like paneer and cheese in your diet, but in moderate quantities. Try to eat 1-2 boiled eggs everyday, with nuts like almonds and pistachio to augment your vitamin intake. Fresh fruits and hydration are great vitality boosters. Include at least 150 minutes of physical activity every week.
