1. Egg White vs Whole Egg – Simple UAE Breakdown
Egg white = protein only. Very low calorie. No fat, almost no vitamins.
Whole egg = complete nutrition. Protein + vitamins + minerals + healthy fats.
• 1 egg white ≈ 17 calories · 3.5–4 g protein · 0 g fat
• 1 whole egg ≈ 70 calories · 6 g protein · healthy fats + vitamins A, D, E, B12, choline and omega-3.
• Great for strict weight loss
• High protein with almost no calories
• But very low in vitamins and minerals
• Protein + healthy fats
• Supports brain, eyes, hormones and immunity
• More filling and satisfying for busy UAE days
2. When Are Egg Whites a Smart Choice?
- During weight-loss or cutting phases
- For gym meals when you need extra protein without fats
- For light late-night dinners with very few calories
- When your doctor limits yolk or fat intake
3. When Whole Eggs Are the Better Option
- Kids and teens – see our Kids Egg Nutrition guide
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding (if not medically restricted) – egg safety in pregnancy
- People who want full vitamins, minerals and brain health nutrients
- Weekend family breakfasts and balanced daily meals
Example: 1–2 whole eggs + 1–2 extra whites in an omelette. You get protein, vitamins and still keep calories under control.
4. Egg Whites & Whole Eggs in a UAE Diet
You can combine both based on your goal:
- Weight loss: 1 whole egg + 2 whites for breakfast
- Muscle building: 2 whole eggs + 3–4 whites spread across the day
- Family meals: Whole organic eggs for kids and adults, whites added only when needed
Start With Better Organic Eggs
Whether you use more whites or more whole eggs, the quality of the egg comes first. GardenZ Organic Eggs are raised on certified organic feed under strict UAE standards.
