Consuming Multiple Egg Yolks Can Make You Gain Weight.

Another common myth is that one shouldn't overeat egg yolk because it contains maximum fat molecules that can lead to weight gain. Even though the statement is true to some extent, it can be considered a myth because, scientifically, there is no truth behind it. If you consume three whole eggs in a day or only the egg yolks, you won't gain any weight. You will be surprised to know that in making several kinds of pastries, croissants, and other big savory dishes, only the yolk is used in huge quantities.

For example, the yolk is added instead of egg white in cheesecake. Similarly, when you see an artisan making handmade pasta, whether the ravioli is filled with blue cheese and yolk or spaghetti, that dough is made from the yolk. Therefore, it is evident that eating egg yolk cannot increase your body weight. You will only gain weight if you eat pasta from whole wheat or oat flour for one week.

Usually, the misconception happens because people do not engage in physical activities after eating. As a result, they tend to put on weight, and the blame entirely falls upon the food item, i.e., egg yolks.

In reality, you can use as many egg yolks as possible in your dish or cook it separately and eat it like a smooth runny egg, provided you engage in physical activities. There is no denying that egg yolks contain a lot of fats, but you must burn the equivalent calorie amount to keep yourself healthy and fit and prevent putting on extra weight.

Raw eggs are an Excellent Protein Source Compared to Cooked Ones

Last but not least, the third myth you must debunk surrounding eggs is comparing the benefits of cooked and raw eggs. Most people believe that raw eggs are much more beneficial for the body than cooked ones because the egg's proteins degenerate in heat; therefore, the person eating the boiled egg does not receive the expected amount of protein.

However, this is far from the truth since both egg types benefit your health. Raw eggs are worse than cooked eggs because they may cause stomach infections, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Plus, as the eggs are obtained from birds that usually suffer from diseases, the domes may enter your body, elevating your chances of suffering from an infection. Hence, consuming the eggs after boiling them makes perfect sense.  

You can even poach it if you do not want the heat to degenerate the proteins. For example, keep the egg in a plastic pouch and add salt and pepper. Tie the mouth of the plastic and put it inside boiling water. Leave it there for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, and then take it out to have a poached egg. Also, you can have a French omelet, Sunnyside eggs, full-boiled or hard-boiled eggs, fried eggs, egg Benedict, and so on.

If you do not want to eat eggs, you can make an omelet and add veggies like a chopped cadet, bell pepper, zucchini, etc. Eggs cooked in different fashions form a staple component of many cuisines. For example, if you order an English platter, you will get Sunnyside or fried eggs.

Similarly, in ravioli pasta, the filling is usually made from egg yolk. Therefore, thinking that raw eggs are much more beneficial than cooked eggs, it's not something people should believe anymore because it is a myth, and there is no truth to the statement.
