Bush's Baked Beans, Good or Bad? Also, why throw away the egg yolk?

[WorldChanger]

I am trying to stay very lean (3-5% body fat)...
I want to know if it's okay to make Bush's Baked Beans a regular part of my diet?

Also, why do you guys throw away the egg yolk? Does it have too much fat? Or what is the reason behind it?

And can I get away with NOT throwing away the egg yolk and consuming the entire egg if I am trying to stay lean? So say I consume 3 whole eggs, 3 times a week?

people have been back and forth on egg yokes forever. there is no definite answer. yeah, they have a lot of cholesterol but there is lots of disagreement as to the effect of dietary cholesterol on your body's cholesterol levels. lots of things i've read lately say that the amount of cholesterol you eat really has no bearing on anything.

i eat all the egg yolks i want. fact of the matter is, your cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels are going to be determined much more by your overall lifestyle and genetics, not by whether or not you eat egg yolks.

I would avoid these, due to the sugar content. Sugars just aren't good. Get some natural baked beans.

An egg white consists entirely of near 100% digestive proteins, while a WHOLE egg consists of protein, and some fat. ( REFERENCE: http://www.calorieking.com/foods/foo...rZXk9ZWdn.html)

As long as your meeting your nutritionial needs, while creating the calorie deficit required for weight loss, 3 whole eggs is fine, and so will be the beans.

Maybe not ideal, but acceptable.

Thanks, so beans are not a optimal source of food if you are trying to stay lean?

10 dollars says you aren't between 3-5% if you have to ask that question

Beans are fine, but look at the lables if one of the first few ingredients is sugar or some sort or corn syrup put it back and look at another one. Best choice here is to make your own baked beans, that way you know what is in them.
